Japanese porn is being "decensored" with AI as we speak, in fact. It looks a tad uncanny, still, but finding a "decensored" clip in the wild was quite the thing for me a couple of weeks ago.

This is a completely different process — the AI is inferencing what goes there, it isn't actually using any information from the pixels so it wouldn't work in this case.

Not to mention deeply and disturbingly unethical

It would use information from the pixels around it though.

Is it really deeply disturbingly unethical? Just FYI, it isn't their identities that are censored, but their genitals are pixelated due to Japanese laws.

I'd bet it could use information from the pixels around it and the blurred out ones as well. It's not hard to imagine such an approach.
