It's an interesting thought how much of the images created will be ground truth vs AI enhanced.

Will I be killed by a drone because my haircut looks like Osama Bin Laden in a really blurry picture of 100 pixels ?

Some of the advances of AI enhancing and outfills are pretty scary in that respect. Like the Xerox compression bug in scanners, but much more pervasive, and, since it's goverments doing it, more or less inscrutable.

I’m personally really worried. It doesn’t bother me when I hear my neighbor flying his drone. And I never notice the Cessna survey planes overhead. But god forbid, on a clear day at exactly 10am I’m sunning my cheeks on my back porch when the GOVERNMENT snaps a 10cm GSD photo intruding on MY privacy. What a man does in his backyard should be his own business!! Not that I have anything to hide!!!
