    Stopped reading after the first caption, because it says:

    A new AI model (right) adds further details to the first-ever images of black holes

    The model doesn’t add “further” details. It composites a pretty little picture and puts it into the image. It’s not what the black hole actually looks like. The “details” are not “further details”, they’re fabricated. Nonsense.

      To clarify: they used data which was determined as unusable as it was too noisy for regular algorithms. So the neural net was trained on more data than just a couple of images. They were trained on all the raw data available. Even if the results might not be that accurate, it is actually a good way of solving this type of problem. Scientifically speaking, the results are not accurate, but it might give us a new perspective to the problem.
