Not a major issue when I’m chilling watching my YouTubes.
Depending on the context it's probably not that bad, but there's plenty of details in youtube videos that people pay attention to, like in news, history, tutorials, educational content, and so on. Even for a fictional story, it could add nonsense that people assume is part of the actual show.
If the original footage is so bad that "nonsense that people assume is part of the actual show" "could plausibly be there", then the problem is not with the AI... it wouldn't be the first time I'm confused by the artifacts in a low quality video.
With AI upscaling it fills it in based on the training from other images/videos. So it probably won't be an alien, but small details common in other videos that looked similar will also show up in the upscaled videos. If an extra flower shows up in a field of grass it's usually not a big deal, but for some things like faces or symbols, small details can really change the way people interpret it.
