Comment on Wallace & Gromit fans appalled by the AI upscaling on new 4K UHD release

The point is it’s fake 4k, and in a real remaster of the film stock, it would be more visible.

I think it’s totally fair to either ask for AI upscaling to stop happening on purchasable media, or to ask for it to be clearly labeled as such.

I think it’s totally fair to either ask for AI upscaling to stop happening on purchasable media, or to ask for it to be clearly labeled as such.

Why? People keep buying it. The method of upscaling doesn’t matter to most people - only enthusiasts.

  For those who care. Just like how audio formats are labeled, and multiple options are provided. Even though most people don’t care.
  
  Just label it. “AI enhanced” or “AI upscaled to 4k”. Not to difficult, and it could be a tiny little box next to the other technical details people ignore.

    Plenty of collectors are not enthusiasts.
