00:00 - Introduction
00:30 - The questions!
02:00 - Deconvolution explained too quickly
03:12 - Types of AI
07:55 - Let's discuss AstroSharp
09:31 - Is AI Deconvolution just sharpening?
11:43 - Do we know anything, really?
14:09 - The "hallucination problem" (not unique to AI)
17:33 - My (controversial?) opinions
The deconvolution thesis shown in the video: Fijneman, G. P. A. "Accelerated deconvolution for radio-astronomical imaging using artificial intelligence."
