People saved tons of shitty videos from Nokia phones and VHS tapes. It would be fantastic to watch them in HD, right? Why has no one made a €9.99 app for this yet? 🙄

Exercising with existing videos seems a basic genAI task compared to the text-to-video magic of Sora or Runway. But surprise-surprise, it’s way more difficult. Just tested a few from Google’s first page

Costly pro tools like Topaz (€200) or Resolve Studio (€300) do upscaling, but not enhancing truly. Sounds like an idea for your next AI startup, folks
