I think a lot of it depends on what you are doing and why.
Yes, recolors can be inaccurate but they can make historical moments feel more alive and connected. At the same time one can imagine the issues of a recolor that is inaccurate and that is troubling with historical photographs.
At the same time I have a bunch of old family photos I'd love to recolorize. Maybe the colors won't be quite right but that's an OK failure mode for family photos!
I'd love to see a version where you can drop just a spot or two of the correct color and let the AI fill it out. My grandmother had stark red hair but most algorithms will color her as a blond. It'd be nice to fix that, using one of the color photos we do have.
