I’m completely speechless. This looks so terrible I thought it was a joke, but apparently Nvidia released these demos to impress people. DLSS 5 runs the entire game through an AI filter, making every character look like it’s running through an ultra realistic beauty filter.
The photo above is used as the promo image for the official blog post by the way. It completely ignores artistic intent and makes Grace’s face look “sexier” because apparently that’s what realism looks like now.
I wouldn’t be so baffled if this was some experimental setting they were testing, but they’re advertising this as the next gen DLSS. As in, this is their image of what the future of gaming should be. A massive F U to every artist in the industry. Well done, Nvidia.
That’s a good point, but this technique isn’t suddenly going to be replacing people’s works, jobs, or IP.
I’ve criticized NVIDIA for being the abusive monopoly that it is in nearly every other comment, but what you are describing isn’t even limited to just NVIDIA, and frankly, I’m not going to be really defending major IP holders, just the small creators. There’s a lot of generative AI that’s endangering small creators, but in my opinion this is not endangering it.
My biggest problem with AI training ignoring intellectual property is their hypocrisy to rush technology that is being used to try to replace a lot of real world jobs blindly, not to protect excessively long IP laws and IP copyright trolls and hoarders. People should download their free cars if they can.
