Some of these images are in uncanny-valley territory for me. The bicubic images just look resized to me, but super-resolution images look real but "wrong". Given how much more "real" they still look than many computer graphics (especially realtime), I guess we won't leave uncanny valley behind us anytime soon.
thank you for saying the same thing I was thinking. It's pretty neat when you consider the title of the paper, but the actual results just seem wrong. Not really sure why!
