Technically true, but I don’t think most people would consider upscaling as “faking” an image. However, given a poor quality source (and parameters), I’m sure some terrible “AI” upscalers could produce some kind of massively-modified abomination.

Edit: Taking a closer look, I think this image qualifies. Terribly done at every level, with extreme over-sharpening and hideous artifacts. SMFH.
