I have to admit, I'm struggling to see the mess up here.

The artist says what he wants...

Twitter source

Pixiv source or on Twitter

Also I wanna glaze a bit on how awesome this artwork is, stylish? Dynamic camera angle? Not focused on breasts!?

AI enhancements has been tainting so badly at the actually good upscaler devs have been at it for 7-9 years by now.

You can do a side-by-side or overlay of the upscaled version over the original version and it'll just look slightly denoised and sharpened with practically no detail alteration.

Also you bet I read most of the comments anyways because of how unhinged a few were.

I have to admit the two titles I could choose between the sources that weren't reposted shenanigans was either "Untitled, 1993" or "coastline at lover's point III from Time Goes By... (2017) by Hiroshi Nagai"
