An experiment with AI photo enhancement

An experiment with AI photo enhancement

I recently experimented for the first time using ChatGPT to improve a photograph. With amusing results.

The image below on the left is a family photo I found on an Ancestry tree. The people in the photo are my maternal grandfather and four of his siblings. My grandfather stands on the right end, wearing a jaunty cap. Whoever posted the picture had placed a small tag in the lower right corner with their names and the year (1930). The Ancestry image appeared to be a photograph of a photograph, and my screenshot further deteriorated the quality. 

I asked ChatGPT to enhance the photo of Jessie, Klaas, Pete and George -- and goofed by giving only four names, omitting the brother in the middle. (I shouldn't have given their names at all and maybe should have selected a word other than "enhance". My mistakes.)

The photo on the right made me laugh out loud. Live and learn.
