Thank you, dear François (and dear Yohanan). Great show and an interesting case study that really gives us something to think about regarding the future use of AI.

However, beg me to differ : the photo was not "corrected" by AI, it was turned into something else. On the AI version of the image, the gentlemen are not exactly on the same place, their posture, eye and facial expressions are slightly different, and the AI extrapolated the window area. I made a quick comparison of both images, showing the differences (subtle, but yet) : https://astrofra.com/posts/czernowitz/Czernowitz-1908-AI-vs-reality.gif I hope you won't mind, Arthur, about me giving my opinion on this fascinating topic. The question AI raises here is : shall we replace our genuinely untouched and damaged familly photos by AI-reconstructed one, even if the faces are not exactly the same, yet rendering familly members not easily recognisable ? The man on the left seems smaller, the one standing seems taller and the one with grey costume has a rather different face and he's not looking in the same direction. Probably AI will evolve, but somehow, the current state-of-the-art is not exactly able to perfectly fix our personal memories. Just my two cents :) Sincerely, François (grand son of a Czernowitzer).
