To be clear: It is a hallucination made by math. But a very good hallucination.

Despite the visual leap, the 2020 upscale remains a "best-guess" reconstruction. Because the AI is working from a compressed source rather than original film, it can occasionally produce "hallucinations"—small visual artifacts where the software misinterprets a texture. However, for a series that Paramount has yet to officially remaster, these projects offer the most immersive way to experience the early days of Commander Sisko’s command.

If you answer “no” to any of the above, skip it.
