So I feel like article doesn't address the "why" of it all. Why auto AI upscale?
replies(7):
1. See that AI upscaling works kinda well on certain illustrations.
2. Start a project to see if you can do the same with video.
3. Develop 15 different quality metrics, trying to capture what it means when "it looks a bit fake"
4. Project's results aren't very good, but it's embarrassing to admit failure.
5. Choose a metric which went up, declare victory, put it live in production.
