    Bandlimiting isn’t just used in “AI”. It is a basic term for either chopping or smoothing out any signal.

    I think of shaders, because currently that’s by hobby project. But basically whenever you have a lot on unwanted noise, not a lot of information and need to be quick, bandlimiting comes to the rescue.

    Basically genAI images are weirdly smooth, because there are limited ways to quickly process a output to keep the network from exacerbating noise artifacts in the next step. That’s why practically all genAI images (but especially the earlyer ones) have this uncanny smooth look to them. That’s why LLMs struggle so much to procede in a story, despite have a shit load of flowery language to describe everything.
