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.
