A two-minute supercut of film and TV characters ordering a computer to 'enhance' a blurry image into a perfectly sharp one. It is a remaster of an earlier 2009 version.
HN uses it as a punchline in threads about image upscaling and super-resolution, where the movie trope has become partly real.

I used to laugh a the "let's enhance" (and still do), but watching generative image models get better, I wonder if fiction will become a reality, abet with lots of hallucinations. At least the enhanced reflections of perpetrators' faces will have a lovely mid-journey art style. classic compilation of "Let's enhance" - [VIDEO]
I used to laugh so hard at those tv and movie scenes when they would "enhance" an image: [VIDEO] I guess yesterday's science fiction is now our reality.
