## What Jamie wrote

In movies you sometimes see that scene where they have some grainy video camera image and then the main character asks the computer to "enhance the image" and instantly you have a super detailed image of the scene? Magnific is that.

The sliders on the web page are worth playing with. You need to do it on a computer to really appreciate it. The details are lost on the small display of a phone. The images are impressive, but it is important to highlight that they are not real. AI is adding detail to make the image look better, but the detail isn't reality. It is a layer of fiction applied to the actual image.

How do we even think about images like this? They are not obviously fake, but they are. They are "enhanced". The future is incredible.
