Wow! We're now just a hair's-width away from finally being able to say, "Computer, enhance image!" without sounding like we're in a bad sci-fi show.

Think the only thing historical science fiction/Blade Runner photo inspect scene[0] didn't forsee was voically having AI assist/analyze photo to summerize list of items/objects avaliable to zoom/view. (vs. pan/zoom around). Although altavista glasses / hand gestures[3] would have been a future concept at the time, too.

Using Whisper as the voice interface, an LLM to understand the prompt and issue function call commands and an image upscaler you could build this in a weekend. Would it be useful? Not especially by itself but I think there is a lot of promise in voice interaction with LLM operated software.

Make it so!
