Update: I thought AI art was overhyped until a tool recreated my grandma's blurry 1970s photo
I was sure it was just a toy, but after scrolling past it for 6 months I finally tried it on a photo from my mom's old album. Now I'm wondering if anyone else has used one that actually feels respectful of old family pics, not just for weird mashups.
I read a piece last year about the ethics of feeding old family photos into these tools. The gist was that it can feel fine when it's your own family, but the software is still guessing at faces it never saw. The respectful ones let you keep it close to the original instead of inventing a whole new person.
