    you can’t really use AI for restoration at all, modern AI systems are based around generating just, whatever. and the hope is that with enough training the whatever will bias towards what you want.

    this means that it can’t restore, it can’t reason about what was originally there, it can only make it’s own thing and we hope that with enough training it’ll fool humans enough not to matter.

    if all you want is something to sound “better” and don’t care about the restoration aspect then sure. if you want what was originally there, no

      You’re making a conservation vs restoration argument here.

      Restoration is what the guy is asking about, I suspect, not conservation.

        nah, conservation would be keeping that original recording in a way as close as possible, Restoration would be restoring what was originally there.

        What AI does is neither, it imagines details that never existed to make something new. It’s important that we don’t erode the meaning here because what AI does is cool, but it also does something new that does not care about the original thing.
