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 …

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.

Replying to @devonshiresab @danasday
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.

Deoldify is amazing. Thank you. But I usually take out all the magenta/purple out if my videos. Not a very common color but seems to appear in most colorized videos

Yeah that's definitely a problem for sure.
