    I’m wondering if AI can already solve this. I’m not even some crazy AI fanboy, I’m just thinking about the possibility of predictive AI being able to interpret compression artifacts to determine what forms would collapse into a particular pattern.

      It’s physically impossible to perform any type of analysis on a low resolution video and end up with a massively* upscaled and accurate result no matter what sort of technology you use. AI just guesses from what it can see and what it’s been trained on. It’s the digital equivalent of hiring an artist to create a higher quality rendition of a picture.

      *There are some tricks that can be used to “enhance” images and especially videos, but not so much that it’s like having optical zoom. For example, a bunch of noisy video frames of the same thing can be combined to get a less noisy result.
