Is it a conspiracy? For months, YouTubers have been quietly griping that something looked off in their recent video uploads. Following a deeper analysis by a popular music channel, Google has now confirmed that it has been testing a feature that uses AI to artificially enhance videos. The company claims this is part of its effort to "provide the best video quality," but it's odd that it began doing so without notifying creators or offering any way to opt out of the experiment.
I have noticed that some of the regular creators I watch seem to look a little AI lately. I honestly have been questioning reality a bit; that’s probably the point.

Yeah I can appreciate that take mate. The level of audacity they would need to think something like this wouldn't be noticed is almost unimaginable. Lying by omission does feel like the best comparison to make regarding this.
Rest easy friend; there will be plenty more corporate nonsense for us all to jawdrop over tomorrow!
That you are not wrong about one bit lmao. We live in an evil cartoon

So by that logic, everything they do is public, whether they talk about it or not?
No. But the thing we're talking about is. It's a lot like farting in an elevator with just one other person and trying to convince them they did it. You both know who did it and what they did pretty quickly.

Do words not matter anymore when it comes to 'journalism?'
I think the better question for you is if you think words don't have real definitions, and do they? What do 'secretly' or 'publicly' really mean? Do they rely on explicit knowledge or just the ability to maybe figure it out on your own?
They didn't secretly do anything. This was publicly.
So I can steal from you without telling you, then when you find out, I can claim it was public knowledge because you found out after the fact?
If it wasn't, we wouldn't fucking know would we?
Yeah, finding out about something that was done without your knowledge or consent beforehand isn't doing it secretly if you find out about it later!
It would be a lot like stealing from me while I'm looking directly at you and you don't tell me we're both on national television. That would be a way more accurate representation.

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

That’s a more boring version of the larger thing happening: ruling class decided it’s YOLO time, screw what the middle and lower class think. Buy a dictator, merge the military with the prisons, take over whatever you can laws and legacy be damned.
America is at the ‘looting the coffers’ stage of imperial collapse

More like you've gotten in the elevator fart-free with someone many times before, but then they planned to fart next time without telling you. We all know who did it, the problem is that the other person wasn't aware that what happens in that elevator ride was going to change because they kept it a secret until the doors shut, and then there was no way out

"enhancement"

When all the music “radio stations” effectively changed nothing but called their algorithms “AI” to follow the hype.

It's a public facing platform.
Your two braincells are misfiring, bud.
