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.

    It doesn’t look like the same character anymore. The right side just looks like something AI hallucinated that is vaguely similar. If that were a real person you wouldn’t be able to recognize them anymore.

    Also, what the fuck do you call that? “Standard Human Face” ?

    AI has never fixed shit ever. It always just makes shit up. I wouldn’t even use it to remove the Starbucks cup from Game of Thrones, cause I don’t know what the fuck it will put there instead. Whatever it “thinks” is supposed to be there, I guess.

    I get why some people would like this, but Nvidia has lost touch with their gaming market.

    AI users are their market now, and this is what they want. This is an advertisment to lazy game publishers/developers like Bethesda.

    So it uses up way more hardware and power whilst not improving the part of the game were the fun is: gameplay.

    What’s next NVidia, an AI driver that plays the game for you?!

    Leaving aside the question of artistic intent, does this not lead to every player having a different experience? Or maybe even every session? DLSS 5 seems to fill in a looot of details and even changing things. How are they making sure it’s the same for every player?

    The only good application of DLSS5 I could’ve think of is Euro Truck Simulator 2, hyperrealism would pair well with the game.

    techno-fascists are incapable of making decent art, hence why they love this shit. They don’t care about Grace as a character or what her design can tell us about her, she needs to be “upgraded” to look like the most generic model ever because they don’t care to actually understand anything about the characters or story or fucking anything at all
