I see the appeal for things like this. Taking pretty low quality, 480i at best, and making it presentable on modern TVs.

That said, AI isn't anywhere close to doing this well. Better to have original than some poorly upscaled crap.

You have to start somewhere and make it better from there as you go

I don't think Netflix is getting VC cash.
