When you think about, the kind of AI we're talking about isn't designed to be accurate, it's designed to make your brain satisfied with what it sees. This is why I think AI is being introduced irresponsibly to average citizens: ChatGPT has disclaimers, but people don't care about accuracy either. It's like a brain hack, a Jedi mind trick to make people think the output is good because it uses what seem like the right words in the right order. It's a confidence man at its core.

As long as the person likes the upscaled photo it spits out, that's all the AI really wanted. It's not going to be a CSI enhancer.

If it’s what I want it to be, why should I care, as the average Joe?

For artistic purposes where there is no "right" or "wrong" way to do something, it's great. Like for upscaling a personal photo, but maybe not for a news broadcast showing an AI's prediction of what a crime suspect looks like based on a blurry security cam, where the AI is just pulling from random people's faces it trained on. There are pitfalls to people using/creating/consuming AI-generated data/content without attempting to understand the nuance and implications.
