It's not using other people's photos to make yours high res. There are a lot algorithms to duplicate and replicate pixels to make the images sharper.

What makes you say that images are not stored?

The lack of information/usage policy on the site scares me even more. Either it’s a hobby project, which doesn’t inspire much confidence in their being responsible with data, or something more nefarious.

Sites like this, even as cool it it might sound, need to have very straightforward privacy policy and terms of service. Plus, who are the creators, where are the servers, … for transparency and accountability purposes.

Who’s to say this isn’t one of ClearView AI honeypot?

I’ve been seeing quite many promotions of AI sites on this subreddit and honestly, the internet can be both beautiful and dangerous at the same time. I hope the mods can help to caution people.

This is not how it works lol the model has already been created with other faces, you using it won't improve it or contribute to the model.

Tried it on a blurry photo of my wife taken in bad lighting. Her teeth were originally a pixelated messy blur. AI somehow drew in her teeth. Everything else was very realistic and didn’t look AI’d to me . Then I realized I had uploaded a “live “ photo from an iPhone. The website showed the before picture as a blurry image when the best frame of the live image was exactly sharp and well defined. So it kind of faked the before and after. That was disappointing. So I turned off Live Photos and picked a blurry frame as the default. This time the AI was able to sharpen it up. But it didn’t look anywhere near as good as the best frame of the Live Photo

Its pretrained. This is probably a preview to a host of new products that will come with a price tag.

⭐ Now that's an app IDea!

Often you’re the product even if you’re paying, but definitely if you’re not paying.

🤣 nailed it.

😜 so illustrative and hilarious thanks// 🤦 ...and that Sir is what makes the economic system(s) work like so. (Rational actors you say; tell me more.)

Do we not remember the “how will you look when you’re 80” or whatever app from 2019 that was proven to be Russian facial recognition and collection software?

DON’T UPLOAD YOUR FACE TO RANDOM FREE SERVICES

It’s interesting but it generates faces that aren’t faithful to the original. I tried an old photo of myself, sister, and four close friends when we were kids. It was grainy, blurry and black and white.

The result was that two of my friends looked correct, likely because they were the two that were clearest in the original. But everyone else was changed. It wasn’t me, my sister and my friends, it was four new faces that bore only slight resemblance to the original.

It’s using AI to construct approximate facial features, but in doing so, generates new faces. It isn’t enhancing existing ones, unless the existing ones are very clear to start with.

It’s still nowhere close to being able to fool the brain. We’re hard wired to recognize faces. We know instantly when there’s even the slightest difference, and this thing creates massively different faces when it has to.

A training set is different from a running dataset. If AI models just accepted anything in the training set then they would eventually spit garbage out. The models are fine tuned for a specific task on a specific dataset.

AI has to train from something, it can't start from nothing. Nothing is free in this world, there are always strings attached.

I would not recommend sending a photo of your German great grandpa

Isn’t that from Psalms?

Perhaps not this exact tool, but a free open-source upscaler is https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN. There are GUIs that can be found online, but it can be run on almost any PC and works really well.

I assume some server in China is harvesting old blurry nudes of my exes.

I'm running a test photo of some enemies of mine just to see how it goes.
