Can someone EL5 the pros and cons of upscaling? Why is this so controversial with some gamers?

It's just another graphics-enhancing tool. But instead of fixed-algorithm antialiasing, it's machine-learning-powered "fill in the blank".

I don't think this application is really all that controversial. Some people are unhappy that AAA games are going to expect or require compatible hardware in the future for no good reason, if the game itself runs just fine without it.
