The real boring dystopia is obsession the internet seems to have over something being 'AI' or not.
This is a perfect example. We're looking at deinterlacing and blocking artifacts that have plagued reuploaded broadcasts for decades, and that pixel peepers have complained about that entire time, yet these ancient filters are being called out as 'AI'. And it has little to do with Trump and the government: this would happen to anything high-profile enough using a telecined broadcast system.
