    Everyone is coming out with new ways to upscale images and even double frame rates for video games. This particular tool merely ensures more video game developers will add compatibility. That includes older games, which are often updated if they're still popular. You can already double the resolution of games like Half-Life 2, and add ray tracing, and upscaling is important to VR among other things. Trust me, Microsoft didn't do this out of the kindness of their heart, they want to own the market. Developers still depend heavily on Microsoft, but AI could easily change all that.

    Hopefully it will be an improvement over Zuckerberg's folly.

    So does that that mean that in the future, AI will be collecting all my data and burying in spam, rather than the current culprits.?

    AI are steadily replacing everyone, so you need to rethink the question. The courts decided corporations are people and, now, the Chinese government has decided AI can own copyrights. Already, AI are being used to interview people for jobs and hire them online, and they could be hiring each other for all I know. Without the analog logic and physics for how they actually work, they will soon be the ones in charge. Fighting fire with fire, doesn't work, if you don't comprehend fire.

    If China is involved, then we are all doomed.
    It was probably Chinese AI, that told Stockton Rush that plastic submarines are best.

    AI is turning out to be trivial for people to make, and will cost a pittance in the near future to make at home. Fear The Evil AI! They comprehend Three Stooges slapstick!

    If you understand your subject, you must realise that 95% of what you see on the internet is pure rubbish.
    Far from solving the problem, AI could spread the rubbish like a wildfire.
    Did I ever post on how a drug addiction rehabilitation site posted information that lead to several deaths. A forum with some misguided axe to grind, started weening people of vital anticoagulants following cardio thoracic surgery. Posts were flooding in, saying how much better they felt, then they just did not wake up one morning.

    I think people give current AI to much credit(hype)...............it still is dumber then they hype(atm):D

    I do think it could be either very usefull or very dangerous(learning) now and in the future.

    It is more about human nature(motives)........greed/control/progression/ect...........

    The Three Stooges are playing God posing as neurologists, philosophers, and physicists for fun and for profit, while they censor half of reality. They throw money at anything they want and, if nobody can produce what they want, they throw more money at it, and find "experts" who will agree with them. The fault, dear Brutis, lies not in the stars, but in Tea Party running the Pentagon and academia into the dirt.

    I don't know about upscaling or super scaling or any of that high end nonsense but I Know Microsoft Windows 10 OS scaling can't even get DOWN-SCALING right. Ever since Win10, they've hidden actual video resolutions deep inside display setting menus. TV's and monitors and video cables are now a convoluted mess of device ID handshaking and HDCP compliance security protocols and mode discovery... Windows talks to the display and they decide what default resolution is best for the user. The result is a dog shit experience especially for gaming.

    So if I hook a Win10 or 11 computer to my 55" 4K TV, it will automatically choose 2160P. My personal preference is 720P. I don't need to sit 3 feet in front of my 55" to read text, I don't need to waste the household bandwidth watching 4K video, because I can barely tell the difference from 8 feet away. And I especially don't need 4K when I try and play a game on this computer that only has a GTX1050 3GB GPU. Which runs any game just fine at 720P... well, ACTUAL 720P, not fake Windows downscaled 720P.

    If you just go to display settings and select 720P from the resolution settings. Windows will LIE to you and tell you it's at 720P. Press info on your TV and it will tell you the truth, your PC is still outputting 2160P! Try playing a game like that with a mid-low end GPU and you will not have a good experience at all. The video is dull and blurry and the framerate is garbage, because the GPU is down-scaling from 4K. Go back to display settings, advanced display settings, display adapter properties, list all modes, and find the actual 1280X720P 60Hz video mode and apply that and the PC finally outputs real 720P. Restart the game and observe amazing clarity and performance...
