I’ve been re-watching star trek voyager recently, and I’ve heard when filming, they didn’t clear the wide angle of filming equipment, so it’s not as simple as just going back to the original film. With the advancement of AI, is it only a matter of time until older programs like this are released with more updated formats?

And if yes, do you think AI could also upgrade to 4K. So theoretically you could change a SD 4:3 program and make it 4k 16:9.

I’d imagine it would be easier for the early episodes of Futurama for example due to it being a cartoon and therefore less detailed.

    Adding imagery that reliably looks good is currently beyond what AI can do, but it’s likely going to become possible eventually. It’s fiction, so the AI making stuff up isn’t a problem.

    Upscaling is already something AI can do extremely well (again, if you’re ok with hallucinations).

      I’m not sure it’s really beyond the scope of AI. Stuff like stable diffusion in-painting / out-painting and some of the stuff Adobe was showing off at their recent keynote shows were already there.

        Those are on a completely different level from having someone walk into frame though, and they still only work on small things that can be extrapolated from the image.
