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.
Isn’t DLSS by defintion always an AI slop filter?
Not really, DLSS mostly just reduces the resolution of a game and then upscales it back up. It does a pretty good job of making the game still look (almost) exactly the same. This, however, completely changes what you’re looking at.
DLSS is short for Deep Learning Super Sampling, it does the upscaling using deep learning, what people also call AI. The upscaler has to be trained on images. Depending on how you train it you either get something that looks almost exactly the same as the game at a higher resolution or you get AI slop.
deep learning isn’t really the same thing as a large language model. People call LLMs AI.
Llms aren’t the only type of ai….
AI isn’t real, I’m just saying what people call AI is pretty much LLMs or anything that does NLP. No one looks at DLSS and says ‘thats ai’
“Science fiction AI” isn’t real. AI is most definitely a thing. From the Oxford dictionary:
By definition, a chess program is AI.
pretty irrelevant to my point, honestly
Your point being you’re making up your own definition of ai…?
