Several years ago, I was a fan of a musician by the name of Shoebox, singer, keyboardist, and sole member of the band Worm Quartet. His songs were funny in that sort of random monkey cheese way that was popular at the time, and one of the types of song he did were called "Chutney songs" (Chutney is the name of one of the worms). These are basically free verse word salad, where roughly half a quarter of a sentence makes sense before veering off into utter nonsense. Recently I was considering Markov bots and neural networks, and I realized you could probably generate Chutney songs more easily than you could do a regular coherent set of lyrics.

Doctor: We've been telling you, autism is just an excuse your mom is using. She doesn't want to reveal she has tourettes because she doesn't want to get treatment.

Mom: gently caress that poo poo, gently caress you gently caress gently caress gently caress sprinkle fucks I sprinkle fucks I sprinkle that poo poo like confetti all over gently caress gently caress fucks fucks many fucks. I'm autism mom gently caress gently caress gently caress you for saying my condition is a lie gently caress loving tourettes it's all over gently caress look gently caress at gently caress them fucks.

Doctor: Honestly, it's kinda embarrassing. As a professional I must ask you two to stop wasting my time, and if you want my personal opinion, what you're doing is just downright wrong. Other than her constant use of the f-word her notion on what autism constitutes is extremely noxious. You should at the very least stop giving her dopamine stimulants.

Daughter: gently caress.

Retro gaming people are going buckwild about this new image resizing deep learning AI called ESRGAN that can basically do the "computer, enhance" thing for real by being trained on huge pools of images to figure out what should go where when an image is resized and the missing info needs to be filled in.

That's really cool! Using that for a remake would definitely require some touches from a human but it's very promising. I kinda like how the green cottage image turned into all painting-like after ESRGAN treatment. Shame about the stars in the final screenshot (King's Quest?)

The second image in this post is from this Morrowind texture replacer, so ESRGAN is already being used to make games look better.

Does a better job with detail than Waifu2x I feel. (Though this can have a lot to do with Waifu's training pool, after all. )

why hasn't this been applied to Steamed Hams yet, is what I'm wondering

Well you’d probably have to do it frame by frame. It would be pretty time and resource intensive to do the whole thing. Obviously no expense is too great.

Maybe so, but you can use a computer to automate repetitive tasks, such as applying a filter to multiple images.

Unless you set up a filter like this to take time into account, you usually end up with irritating image flickering when processing video

And as the paper says, that neural net isn't doing video by using blind frame-by-frame processing.

So trying to just apply the ESRGAN to video frame-by-frame is gonna have some pretty big problems - you'd have to design a different network and train it again from scratch.

Sorry ya I forgot to mention that, the reason it looks better than other solutions is that they have a layer to help with the frame transitions

there was had a great video where they show the same sequence with and without but I cant find it

Kings Quest V backgrounds were digitally scanned acrylic paintings, so it makes sense that the good images retain that look.

I was wondering why some people had missing arms, then I remembered that those were animated, so that would be a separate image drawn on afterwards.

Some new markov-chained motivational posters! I generated the quotee names separately this time around because settings that generated coherent(-ish) motivational quotes ended up using actual names very often. A lot of the generated lines are just kind of demotivating, which is ironic.

Yeah, ESRGAN is built primarily around algorithmically generating the data that is lost in image compression so it works really well at upscaling art assets that were compressed like that; the textures in Quake and the monsters in Doom would probably work well with it too. If you feed actual pixel art or clean flat colors like Steamed Hams it doesn't actually do very much because there's no missing data to fill in.
