Is the Starlight Model a self-appointed guardian of morals?

I actually wanted to write a post to praise the excellent quality of the Starlight Model. But…
I tried to denoise a 2-second clip I filmed at a techno party. All of VideoAi’s built-in models didn’t produce satisfactory results. Starlight’s Free Cloud Preview impressed me at first glance. Then I took a closer look. The fact that the faces are extremely deformed is a well-known AI problem. But what horrified me:

A young woman has decided for herself to develop freely in a free society and to take off her top while dancing in a non-sexually charged environment. But the Starlight Model put her back on.

Is this a programming error, or is Starlight acting as a self-appointed guardian of morals?

I look forward to hearing your opinions on this topic.


I think what you’re seeing is the AI making “assumptions” based on content that’s been used to teach it. It’s not anticipating one topless person in a crowd of fully-dressed people, so it’s making “corrections” based on what it’s “expecting” to see.

The model is not trained to add clothes back on to cover nudity in videos. As Gene mentioned it was just trying to make an assumption based on training when enhancing the video.

What I find much worse is that Starlight turns easily recognizable faces into monster faces.
