Well it depends if you want to show something pleasing or something real. I prefer the latter. If Topaz AI is used then you're adding to and changing the original signal with external input. You're not digging out existing underlying details from your own. The loop is broken. In the end it all comes down to the integrity of the process. The day Topaz AI is trained on a database of astro photographs everyone will be able to have Hubble like images shot with a 4" refractor.
