Nvidia has been upscaling content for users using the Nvidia shield since I think the 2019 revision, and I think offers the driver level video streaming upscale since 2023 with RTX Video Super Resolution. The concept isn’t exactly new (and there are video players that basically have 3rd party upscale algorithms, doesn’t need to be “AI” to do so)

Nvidia’s stuff is AI, but things like MadVR and stuff aren’t. Even older upscales like ESRGAN is ML based, but not necessarily AI, as the terms been pretty diluted.

Almost every TV has this built in too. Upscaling is not what people are complaining about.

They airbrushed people’s faces.
If a computer changed my face because I’m too ugly for advertisers I’d fucking kill myself.

Killing yourself in that scenario seems like you've selected the wrong target. It's certainly not yourself's fault.
Being unapologetically and relentlessly human is the best revenge we can get on these dehumanizing technologies, and to be human you need to first and foremost be alive.

I knew I recognized the AI smear face tell sign. I saw people I used to watch and I thought, why do their videos look so strange all of a sudden. Like it’s AI or something.
I was like 🤔 this has many of the signs of AI video. Wtf is going on here.
LO AND BEHOLD. I knew I wasn’t going crazy.

face smoothing is a side effect of AI upscaling, i doubt that was the goal.
