Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9?

snake_case@feddit.uk to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 108 points –

I've been re-watching star trek voyager recently, and I've heard when filming, they didn't clear the wide angle of filming equipment, so it's not as simple as just going back to the original film. With the advancement of AI, is it only a matter of time until older programs like this are released with more updated formats?

And if yes, do you think AI could also upgrade to 4K. So theoretically you could change a SD 4:3 program and make it 4k 16:9.

I'd imagine it would be easier for the early episodes of Futurama for example due to it being a cartoon and therefore less detailed.

just fyi, your link is broken for me

i wonder if it's a new url scheme, as i've never seen duplicates in a reddit url before, and if i switch it out for comments it works fine

Thanks! Fixed

I think you're right. It should work with the old frontend (which I have configured as the default when I'm logged in):

https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/duplicates/14xojmf/using_ai_to_fill_the_scenes_vertically/

that's weird. it's actually a pretty useful feature, but it's odd they'd add it to old reddit before new reddit, considering it's basically deprecated. maybe it's just an a/b rollout and i don't have it yet

i have old.reddit as default as well, but i'm not logged in on my phone browser and it wouldn't open in my app

Sorry, I think I didn't explain my self correctly. That feature it's a very old one, it has been on old reddit since I remember. It has also worked on new reddit at some point, see the screenshot below from a comment I posted 6 months ago:

::: spoiler "View discussions in X other communities" feature in new reddit : :::

::: spoiler In old reddit it's accessible from the "other discussions" tab :::

how the hell did i use reddit for almost a decade and not know about that feature

it wasn't your poor explanation, it was just me being an idiot i think - i just assumed it was new
