I do that as well

> I want it to be truthful first.

I don't think a tree in the background going from green blop to individual leaves or a pullover getting the jersy-knit that it also had in reality is untruthful. It's a better experience for me when looking at old photos and remembering the past, it's more immersive for me

How do you guys feel about AI upscaling?

I don't mind hearing it. In fact, in addition to the noise from the camera and the HDR algorithms and so on, I do sometimes lightly edit my own photos (correcting color/contrast/brightness and/or cropping).

Recently there was an article about the boundaries of ethical photo editing regarding the NYT photos of the Riot mining farm in Texas, but I cannot find the link.

Falseness and manipulation bother me quite a lot. I can see someone wanting to use AI to manipulate others, but to manipulate their own photo library? My photos are my diary, and I don't want it to look wonderful above all, I want it to be truthful first.

As you said, different tastes.
