Swiss Pass mi ha assalito (upscaling AI)

Fun fact: if your SwissPass picture edges on the side of lower resolution, it seems that SwissPass will apply AI upscaling to it—with all the bias that comes with it.  

I am sharing two telling details of my original picture vs. SwissPass enhancement: fuller, pinker lips, no mole, and my deep brown eyes now much lighter (original eye picture absent for privacy).

However, it is slightly embarrassing to now have a SwissPass that looks as if I blatantly uploaded a selfie that was passed through a beautifying filter, which also is not doing wonders for my own self-confidence.   

Moreover, I think users should be able to object to AI procedsing of their likeness.
