Reply to comment by derpanzerschreck in Website that automatically colorizes old black-and-white photos by t-bands

I took several photos I had, turned them black and white, then uploaded them. It was way off every time. This is literally just randomly guessing

Try Myheritage colorizer. It's consistently the best in testing.

Of course it's paid, and all colorizers are ultimately guessing

It’s guessing obviously (since the color information is destroyed in the image you uploaded) but it’s using AI to assume things like grass = green and sky = blue. If it makes your tshirt red then obviously that’s a guess, and there’s no way for it to have known if it was actually green.

What did you think it was doing..? Did you think it somehow knew the color of your shirt?
