Most movies ever made were not meant to be watched on home TVs. Playing it on your crappy 50" Samsung with a soundbar is as much of a sacrilege as running it through an AI. I guess you have never done that, right?
So if I have vision issues, I'm also the problem, right?
The first time I saw Blade Runner was on a CRT TV from VHS tape and it was still faithful to the original, which I've seen on the big screen and various digital formats too. Poor reproduction doesn't add something that isn't there in the original, it just degrades the image. That generally can't be controlled and is a lot different to intentionally changing the image.
Yes, that’s exactly right, and that’s why people still go to the movies when almost everyone has a screen they could watch movies if they so desired.
Despite the hyperbole of “original sin” or “crime against humanity”, what people are saying is that AI filtered movies are crappy just like watching a good movie in a shitty screen; but I would argue that our social outlook is worse because nobody would say that they’re improving movies by using a shitty screen and shitty audio system, yet we do see that with all the AI hype.
