I don’t think they thought this through.
Why not? They are one of the last browsers to add support, so I think they quite did?
One of the last browsers out of the two that exist (ignoring those that don’t really develop any of those features themselves)?
It’s a vendor specific feature, as opposed to something any graphics chip can use. It’s kinda like… endorsing a closed source driver feature.
Meh, with games we want them to work independent of which type of controller we use, but display each driver’s specific button graphics as needed. I see no difference here. Do I want dynamic upscaling and auto-HDR for all graphics cards? Sure! Do I still want it optimized for each type of graphics card unless the hardware makers can - unlikely - present a unified API? Of course I do.
Meh, most upscaling is pretty bad and doesn’t really add anything.
The problem with AI upscaling is that it does add something. It fills in the details with things that could plausibly be there, regardless of if they are. It’s especially dangerous if it’s used for something like security footage, where it’ll do stuff like make up a face based on a few pixels.
Not a major issue when I’m chilling watching my YouTubes.
Depending on the context it’s probably not that bad, but there’s plenty of details in youtube videos that people pay attention to, like in news, history, tutorials, educational content, and so on. Even for a fictional story, it could add nonsense that people assume is part of the actual show.
If the original footage is so bad that “nonsense that people assume is part of the actual show” “could plausibly be there”, then the problem is not with the AI… it wouldn’t be the first time I’m confused by the artifacts in a low quality video.
At worse upscaling will make the video worse. It won’t add aliens or some shit to your videos.
With AI upscaling it fills it in based on the training from other images/videos. So it probably won’t be an alien, but small details common in other videos that looked similar will also show up in the upscaled videos. If an extra flower shows up in a field of grass it’s usually not a big deal, but for some things like faces or symbols, small details can really change the way people interpret it.
I highly doubt the upscaling could do anything close to adding faces or something.
The best it could do with a blurry face like thing is probably just to make it look sharper.
