This is great for entertainment (and hopefully the main application), but we need clear marking of such type of videos before hallucinated details are used as "proofs" of any kind by people not knowing how this works. Software video/photography on smartphones is already using proprietary algorithms that "infer" non-existent or fake details, and this would be at an even bigger scale.
Funny to think of all those scenes in TV and movies when someone would magically "enhance" a low-resolution image to be crystal clear. At the time, nerds scoffed, but now we know they were simply using an AI to super-scale it. In retrospect, how many fictional villains were condemned on the basis of hallucinated evidence? :-D
Enemy of the State (1998) was prescient, that had a ridiculous example of "zoom and enhance" where they move the camera, but they hand-waved it as the computer "hypothesizing" what the missing information might have been. Which is more or less what gaussian splat 3D reconstructions are doing today.
Yeah I was curious about that baby. Do they know how it looks, or just guess? What about the next video with the animals. The leaves on the bush, are they matching a tree found there, or just generic leaves perhaps from the wrong side of the world?
I guess it will be like people pointing out bird sounds in movies, that those birds don't exist in that country.
