This isn't really GenAI, so I don't really have a problem with it much like how I don't have a problem with AI upscaling, for instance. It also can run locally.

    I mostly agree with you. However, I think there are some caveats to upscaling; there are so many lazy "4K AI UPSCALE BEST QUALITY" videos online that just don't look good and were clearly put there just to get views.

    However, I've also found they have their uses; for instance, I wanted to laser cut a TMBG Flood logo once, but there were very few good images online that traced well in Inkscape. I ended up doing an AI upscale of the least terrible one with a white background, and that traced pretty well in Inkscape.
