AI interpolation

Just one question: why modern graphic editors wont start transitioning to AI-based interpolation? I'm sure NVIDIA would happily fund such endeavor, because without hardware acceleration AI is very slow.

It is understandable with Photoshop: no competition means no need to improve the shit. Maybe now when they kicked Stallman out, the GIMP's license will be changed into something similar to BSD, so commercial companies could use it as a base for innovations?

Also, many innovations can them be introduced into the free version, after companies spent millions into R&D and devised the right way to work with the say ANNs.

They would release the competitive advantage brought with all that R&D money for free because _____________.

I hope you're very young.
