Hope it works well for you!

In my eyes, one specific example they show (“Prompt: Restore photo”) deeply AI-ifies the woman’s face. Sure it’ll improve over time of course.

I tried a dozen or so images. For some it definitely failed (altering details, leaving damage behind, needing a second attempt to get a better result) but on others it did great. With a human in the loop approving the AI version or marking it for manual correction I think it would save a lot of time.

This is the first image I tried:

https://i.imgur.com/MXgthty.jpeg (before)

https://i.imgur.com/Y5lGcnx.png (after)

Sure, I could manually correct that quite easily and would do a better job, but that image is not important to us, it would just be nicer to have it than not.

I'll probably wait for the next version of this model before committing to doing it, but its exciting that we're almost there.

		Being pragmatic, the after is a good restoration. There is nothing really lost (except some sharpness that could be put back). The main failing of AI is on faces because our brains are so hardwired to see any changes or weirdness. This is the sort of image that is perfect for AI because the subject's face is already occluded.

Another question/concern for me: if I restore an old picture of my Gramma, will my Gramma (or a Gramma that looks strikingly similar) ever pop up on other people's "give me a random Gramma" prompts?

		It might show her for prompts of “show me the world’s best grandma” :) On free tier, I’d essentially believe that to be the default behavior. In reality they might simply use your feedback and your text prompts instead. Certainly know free Google/OpenAI LLM usage entails prompts being used for research. Edit: decent chance it would NOT directly integrate grandma into its training, but would try hard to use an offline model for any privacy concerns
