I hard disagree. I downloaded one of the videos you PM me (STARS-145...2.18GB) on sukebei, and it's a true uncensored leak. AI usually is bad at hands or will show some small flaws. That video has no flaws at all. Our AI tech hasn't reached the point of indistinguishable from true uncensored yet. Maybe give it 5-10 more years. There is no way a single guy (who is a nobody) can create software/hardware that can achieve that when big companies haven't been able yet.
The Akiba thread you linked is full of discussion about real uncensored leak, not de-mosaic or AI software manipulation. I see no correlation with the news articles. Just because that guy got caught for selling de-mosaic/AI videos doesn't mean it is the same from the uncensored leaks. For all I know, he could be using JavPlayer and his work is really good (better than supjav, etc), and the news website doesn't know and just call it "AI" (because AI is a huge buzzword). Also, look at these pics
here and
here. They clearly show fake dicks, fake bj, etc. Why would that guy go through all the trouble of using AI only to replace them with these fake stuff? (rhetorical question).
I also disagree that JavPlayer de-mosaic is worse than mosaics version. I have decensored several 2D films using JavPlayer, which I consider better than supjav and other streaming sites (if you want, I can show you an example via PM). De-censored video, though maybe blur or inaccurate when compared to true uncensored leak, they are still better than a bunch of blocks (mosaics) for me. I'd pick decensored videos over mosaics version any day when given the choice.
