I was expecting the upscaled image to have extra "invented" detail from the supposed ML, as I've seen elsewhere.
But looking at these upscaled images, there isn't any at all. There's no extra texture, nothing.
I can't find any difference at all, like you say, from just some bicubic interpolation with sharpening.
No jaw dropping here, unfortunately.
