DeOldify: a free/open photo-retoucher based on machine learning

I’m quite interested in AI and photo retouching. There have been some amazing AI based recoloring demos. But if the photo in the article is representative, this isn’t one of them. The image hasn’t been “deOldified” it’s just been very poorly colorized. The colorizing isn’t remotely photorealistic, isn’t accurate to the subject boundaries and, at best, emulates really bad amateur colorization.
