No, it’s not actually this bad, but the fan remasters I have seen definitely suffer from the usual AI “upscaling” issues like smooth skin, weird text, etc. What is the best quality these shows can actually be found in?

And before you form a response to that question, here is a quick reminder of a relevant rule on the instance this community is on

Piracy rules

Meta discussion of piracy and related topics is allowed. This includes:

  • News about file sharing or streaming platforms
  • Software used for streaming, downloading or sharing content
  • Laws concerning piracy in different regions/countries
  • Moral or ethical views on piracy
  • Discussion about releases themselves, as long as no content listed below is included

What is NOT allowed:

  • Links to copyright infringing content, such as
    • a copyright infringing YouTube video
    • a torrent file or magnet link leading to copyright infringing content
    • HTTP or FTP links to downloads copyright infringing content
    • unlicensed streaming sites for copyrighted content
  • Links to services actively facilitating copyright infringement
    • This includes popular sites that can be found on the first page of most search engines.
  • Posting obfuscated variants of the above, such as
    • embedding links, domains or instructions in an image
    • encoding things in Base64

AI disclaimer: If it’s not obvious, the punchline at the bottom is an AI-generated image. I found it by browsing already-generated Trek-themed AI images. I believe this post fits the AI rule on this community, but I understand if not. My first idea for the punchline was to run a photo of the DS9 cast through a 2015-ish Deep Dream model or whatever (the kind that makes nonsense like this), but apparently that’s no longer a thing.
