It's a shame its so clearly AI generated, amazing how far it's come in recent years however there is still a lot to go to get decent results.

Problem with AI is that it is not new anymore and more and more pple are able to spot it due to its typical signs (most telling that airbrushed hair) and are allergic to its creations.

It also has funny effect when pple mark YT video as AI generated and creators try to defend themselves that they are voiced by real pple :D but this accusation befalls even videos that shows the person, supposedly real, but who knows, like that one lady with face like a Siri doll... I give thumb down and close such suspected AI creations and click on 'don't recommend the channel'.

Mind you, I've just finished recoding a small size video 720x400 and doubling its size using 'AI real-life 2x' setting and it came out in surprisingly good quality, especially considering not only doubling the size but also recoded H264 into H265 which implies some quality decrease on its own, never mind doubling the res size.
This is open source program and it offers also 4x sizing.

It made a temp folder where it deposited huge amount of jpg images (black, at least my image viewer didn't see any image in them), maybe one image for each video frame? The original video was about 500MB H264, this temp folder had 7GB when I checked with video partly done and don't know what its max size was and it was deleted when the job was finished. Finished video size only increased by 100MB to 600MB (H265), so definitely worthwhile but you need tons of disk space.
I think it first converts the whole movie into jpegs, enlarges those and then makes them back into movie.
