Concerns raised: Unreliable scanning with basic prompting, Not actually novel - technique done before, AI seems wasteful for this specific task, Poor scannability at distance and angles, SaaS wrapper around focused AI task unnecessary
Feature requests: Better scan reliability at distance/angles, More control over artistic style (less melting effect), Healing and strengthening algorithm for weak codes
