YouTube made AI enhancements to videos without telling users or asking permission. As AI quietly mediates our world, what happens to our shared connections with real life?
It’s not so much that they down- and upscale the video of shorts, their algorithm changes the look of people.
It warps skin and does a strange sort of sharpening that makes things look quite unreal and almost plastic.
It is a filter that evens the look with images generated by, say, grok or one of the other AI filters.
In a year people will think that “AI-look” is a normal video look, and stuff generated with it is what humans can look like.
We will see crazed AI-fashion looks popping up.

Yeah, upscaling can generate artefacts and such.
