Do we not remember the “how will you look when you’re 80” or whatever app from 2019 that was proven to be Russian facial recognition and collection software?

DON’T UPLOAD YOUR FACE TO RANDOM FREE SERVICES

True, tbh I'd only use these free online services for memes/random photos of people.

Personal photos would definitely make use of some locally/offline run A.I. upscaler/enhancer like Topaz's stuff. Only downside is that you can't convince everyone to get a nice GPU with +6GB of VRAM so its this unfortunate grey zone that people that want to try this but only have phones/tablets would have to wager what online services to use.

I don’t know much about it, but maybe this is one of the places where encrypted computation in AI is important, which I heard there’s still quite some ongoing research and certain operations cannot be done. Tho it goes back to issues of trust, especially with black box models even if it’s open source to some extent
