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?

I'm noy sure if you're a troll or so unbelievably idiotic. Just in case it's the latter:

1. If GIMP goes away from the GPL, and companies use it "as a base for innovations" (yeah, like it'd happen), they wouldn't have to release the sources, so you wouldn't get it unless you pay, and they would never build on each other, just offer different sets of one-gen "innovations".

2. It's not Stallman who prevented the GIMP from going non-GPL.

3. That's not gonna happen.
