    Image/video upscaling via neural net is something I would pay for.

    I currently use freeware/open source alternatives, but I am planning to get a copy of Topaz Video AI in the future.

    Even the freeware/open source algorithms are incredible in terms of quality. You do get artifacts and it doesn’t handle certain things very well (I get problems with watermarks); but that might be my lack of knowledge.

    When I first did a successful SD upscale (x2 resolution), it almost felt like magic.

    I had seen some pretty impressive neural net upscaling before (Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat, Lumière Brothers, 1896), but it’s a whole different feeling when you can do it yourself with pretty solid results.
