1/ My cofounder @danasday and I were interviewed by Wired, and quite enjoyed it. It's about the controversy of using Deoldify colorization and other AI techniques to enhance photos and video from the past.https://www.wired.co.uk/article/history-colourisation-controversy …
2/ Admittedly, this surprised me somewhat: "On the internet these images, she says, “come unmoored” from how and why they were made, and how and why they were changed. She has already had students submitting essays which include falsely colourised images without realising it. "
3/ I assume that means AI colorized given the context. The surprise comes chiefly from the fact that I didn't think they were at the point of being so convincing as to fool people to that extent. This isn't me fishing for compliments LOL.
My thoughts too! Lowering the cost of entry to learn engage with historical content seems a great thing to do
I can only imagine if "someone" was thinking about integrating 2D to 3D conversion into their service 
The problem that I have with DeOldify is that in the end it is nonsense. It may give the illusion of how that particular scene looks in colour. But in all likelihood the result will be completely historically inaccurate. I think it has its place, though. It can look amazing.
DeOldify being "completely historically inaccurate" is an obvious overstatement. The model has no problems with things like skin, grass, sky, fruits/vegetables, flowers, metals, etc. All I want is a little nuance in debates these days. Less extremes.
Just came across this. I found this article and your work fascinating. I teach Photo History at Palomar College in SD and will asking my students to write about this in class. Would love to talk more or set up a talk through school. What is the best way to contact you?
Cool! You can DM me.
