Sorry to disappoint you but Topaz AI is a part of my process. Perhaps not to death, but it is a step for me. As Adams said: the negative is the score, and the print is the performance. Well written music is easier to make sound great than that which is poorly composed - or garbage in, garbage out.
I am trying to write well and do less heavy lifting with the performance - for me, this is easier as I don't play as well as I compose. For another with better skills in post production, it would still benefit to have a great score to begin with. But they could perform it better than I do.
Higher ISOs and software like Topaz are part of the way things are done in 2023 - for consideration, recent thoughts on the subject from Jan Wegener (an excellent bird photographer).

YouTube on high vs. low ISOs

Once upon a time, technology in the camera as well as in post production software, limited us to working with lower ISOs as a lower ISO was the path to better quality images. Better cameras and better software have opened up higher ISOs to be used to go farther.
From my perspective, Topaz is not for use to turn garbage into Michelangelo. It is a step for taking what is already quality and making it shine.
Thank you for your comment.
