Here is second quick test with this. I find this neural network extension pretty good for low light and high ISO images. Pretty much as good as DxO PL6 with this image and some cases even better (see images on my previous post). DxO PL6 seems to make more artifacts with DeepPrimeXD than this Canon Neural Network extension on images I tested these.

Tried also some low ISO images taken in better light and difference was very small. Might buy this for few months if I need to take lot of low light images with high iso some times. I have not bought DxO PL6, installed trial version to see how it compares to this and don't see reason to get it.

In this case and the one before Canon DPP + neural does a better job.

I believe its worth it, especially if using RF lens and RF bodies. The biggest caveat is computer / hardware compatibility. They are extremely tough on which GPUs they are supporting and its slightly high end. More inclined towards gaming GPUs.

Up to this point - having a slightly better GPU which skews more towards CPU utilization was perfectly fine for photo editing. In fact, it can have basic RAM. But apps such as these are hitting the market more and more. Very soon for photo editing the need for gaming level GPUs will become the norm.

Also - I feel the services offered by various commercial companies online or not will also see a substantial decline. Even more will be the wedding photographers, etc.

Currently, with "darktable" app on board I am working with a start up which is coming up with a product. It will take anyone's photos in a wedding and use neural network + machine language unstructured optimization to create wedding photos. It can even take (let's say) 10 photos, super impose them to create a virtual 3D and actually translate that as if there's a drone from the top taking some photos! If a particular "instance" was captured by many: for example: a bride then it'll apply heuristics and create the best dynamic range and view point of the bride. Just wow ...
