There’s a story I tell in my book [https://youlooklikeathing.com] because it’s a great illustration of how AI gets the wrong idea about what problem we’re asking it to solve: Researchers at the University of Tuebingen trained a neural net to recognize images [https://medium.com/

Depixellation? Or hallucination?

There’s an application for neural nets called “photo upsampling” which is designed to turn a very low-resolution photo into a higher-res one. This is an image from a recent paper demonstrating one of these algorithms, called “PULSE: Self-Supervised Photo Upsampling via Latent Space Exploration of Generative Models [https://github.
