It becomes misleading to even keep calling it "Zoom".

More like "Interpolation" with a pinch of hallucination. I can see this becoming a thing though, it is after all the mythical 'zoom & enhance' from csi...

I actually think it's a cool feature, but it shouldn't be called "zoom". "Zoom & Enhance" would make sense. The UI should also have a clear visual indicator of which modes are pure optical zoom, which (if any) are substantially just cropping the image, and which are using genAI.

agree. allow toggling between the blurry pixels and enhanced version and we're golden.

Also, over time when all of these enhanced photos are posted online and used for future model training, Pixel 13 Enhance might do even worse.

How many times should we be able to enhance it?
