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.

Look at it differently. Example: the 2nd world war is far far away for many. But when you see the trains with Jews in color, it is suddenly damn realistic. The authenticity of the color of the trains is not the point. (However, surfaces are well predicted.)

This is basically how I like to explain it as well too. I think that's so important.
