Ask HN: Anyone notice World Cup video feeds look like AI?

A Hacker News user reports that World Cup video feeds, specifically the Belgium-Iran game broadcast in South America, appear to be processed with AI image generation models like Stable Diffusion, giving them a video game-like appearance. The user speculates that commercial pressure to use AI may have led broadcasters to apply AI upscaling filters, similar to a past case where content-aware compression altered numbers in architectural scans.

By AI I mean Image Generation models like stable difussion, but I had to make a short title. They look like Video Games sometimes too. This reminds me of that case of a scanner used in an architecture studio that was changing numbers for others, and it turns out they were using content aware compression and decompression. Maybe the commercial pressure to use AI caused them to apply an AI filter to upscale the images and they end up looking like videogames? To be precise I'm looking at the Belgium - Iran game, it's a video feed that is clearly broadcast to all of southamerica. Don't know if that can help someone find it.
