A few of us have been experimenting using Gemini and Chat GPT to enhance screenshots. Please make your AI enhanced screenshot full size and your original screenshot a thumbnail. Feel free to add any interesting details including what AI you are using. If this becomes popular then I may consider a contest format.
The quality you have achieved is astonishing. I cannot believe what I am seeing. 'The camera never lies' is dead as a phrase, it also means that every photo I now see on the internet is untrustworthy!
Definitely nice. I'm ambivalent about it: On one hand the composition is still ours, it's mostly just much better rendering. As such, it might be worth to fix up some of our favourite shots to make them publish-proof (printing, slideshow). On the other hand, it's removing the aspect of documenting the game. One risk we're running is that capturing fine screenshots becomes less important because you can not just ask for a fidelity boost (which is already an important factor) but possibly a mild composition fix as well. For me a big part of the screenshotting game is to try and make the best of it. At its extreme, some of the shots might as well come from TSW, RWE3 ;-) or something similar. Unfortunately, that's the reality for years. I had a run on Facebook where I appreciated a lot of nature shots and those of cute log cabins, until I realized that they are AI generated with the chimney above the window and somesuch. In fact, AI is used to generate traffic and revenue - hard business. On the upside, when stated (or otherwise known) to be AI it's nice to accept it as a what-if. For example, about two years ago some gardening company suggested that we plan ours in 3D, with its help - live.
