Google Brain Cleans Up Low-Res Photos by Turning Everyone Into a Glitched Out Monster

The team at Google Brain has made an impressive breakthrough for increasing the resolution of images. They've managed to turn 8x8 grids of pixels into monstrous approximations of human beings. Neural networks are our best chance at being able to truly increase the level of detail in a low-resolution image. We're stuck with the pixel information that a photo contains but deep learning can add detail through what are commonly referred to as "hallucinations." This essentially means a piece of software making guesses about an image based on the information it's learned from other images.
