Comment on Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9?

I think it would be possible. But adding previously unseen stuff would be changing/redirecting the movie/show.

Each scene is set up and framed deliberately by the director, should AI just change that? It’s a similar problem like with pan-and-scan, where content was removed to fit 4:3.

You wouldn’t want to add content to the left and right of the Mona Lisa, would you? And if so what? Continuing the landscape, which adds just more uninteresting parts? Other people, which removes the focus from her? And this is just a one frame example, there are more problems with moving pictures.

It would be an interesting experiment, but imo it wouldn’t improve the quality of the medium, in contrary.
