Recently I have been experimenting with Topaz Labs' Gigapixel AI and Video Enhance AI, which use AI to enlarge photos and videos, respectively. If the source material is fairly good quality, their software is actually able to enlarge photos & videos that are clearer & sharper than they would be with traditional photo/video editing software. I've heard of at least one person using their software to upscale Deep Space 9, and I've thought about using this for other shows too.

I was wondering about using their Video Enhance AI to upscale the TNG blu-rays to 4K. I know there are other shows that could probably use this more that aren't in HD at all (such as DS9, Voyager, etc.), but with source material that's already fairly good such as the TNG blu-rays, upscaling it even further may produce fairly good results.

I took some screenshots of TNG's "All Good Things..." from the blu-ray and used Gigapixel AI to enlarge them to 4K. I imagine the results with Video Enhance AI using the video would be similar. Some of the screenshots look better than others, as some have a bit of motion blur. I've uploaded the 1080 and AI-upscaled 4K screenshots:
