This article contains images which have been upscaled using AI. This will have introduced speculative and possibly inaccurate details. Such images should be replaced with their original versions. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. (June 2026) |
When to use
[edit]This tag is intended to identify articles with historical images that have been upscaled by an AI process. Software such as Remini or MyHeritage allows an old or low quality image to be increased to a much higher resolution, with the AI filling in details based on its general knowledge of what people look like. Such upscaling may introduce inaccuracies or speculative details which are not present in the source material, or wrongly imply a level of image quality that did not exist at the time the image was created.
Typical issues are portraits being restored with excessive, invented detail on the eyes, nose and mouth (while clothes and background remain largely unchanged), faint colours being added to the faces of monochrome images, and the AI struggling to correctly upscale spectacles and patterned clothing.
