The right image looks more realistic. Where exactly is the problem? Do you prefer smooth glossy doll-like models? I'm sure this "filter" will be optional.
The textures are flat on purpose so the AI filter looks "more detailed" in comparison.
They don't have to be like this, see this Callisto Protocol 2022 screenshot no weird AI filter needed.
Definitely. Boot up the game and look at the actual graphics. Their "OFF" pictures look terrible.
It looks like it applied some make-up and changed the hair colour.
it doesn't look "more realistic", it completely changes the character's appearance: hair that looks dyed, redder & fuller lips, more prominent cheekbones, a more defined chin, and eyes that instead of kinda looking away avoidedly, now stare at your soul through the screen (although that one might be just the lighting, idk)
basically this except more subtle, but the idea is the same, make her look more attractive under the guise of realism. it's gross on its own, but the implications are even worse imo, just giving gooner chuds the tools to turn any game into the porn of their dreams, fuck art amirite? it's literally turning everything you see on the computer into a unique serving of slop, every copy of mario 64 is personalized except instead of interesting analog horror each player gets to discuss how big peach's tits were on their version
If I was an artist that worked on the game and had this shit forced on my product it would make me fucking furious!
How about the part where they had to use 2 RTX 5090's to do this? One for the game and one for DLSS 5?
Please try and justify that.
Easy, if it needs that much GPU and even one GPU is hard to find, then it could make someone rent their games from Nvidia to use their GPUs...
Oh. Did you mean justify for the user? Lol, no, only the interests of nvidia matter.
It honestly just looks like color, contrast, and sharpening changes... Basically what could be done with a reshader app.
I hate ai too but this seems like it's just blatant anti-ai outrage. In the end this works against the honest anti-ai movement.
Really just seems like "live" ai powered reshading...
I still don't understand all the extreme anti-ai cult in these types of contexts. Oh well.
Whatever ai did, the right image looks better than the left.
I honestly think the anti ai thing has a lot of crowd mentality aspects to it. There's reasons to dislike some of what big ai business is doing, more reasons to push for regulation. But this specific example? I got nothin...
If only Leonardo de Vinci had a camera, can you imagine how much better the Mona Lisa would have been? /s
People have repeatedly in this thread talked about how it also added details that were not hinted in the original, and in part it looks like adding makeup, which could totally undermine a character or setting if they are unlikely to care about our have time for makeup.
Characters that have barely survived in the wilderness for weeks somehow wearing lipstick and eyeliner and eyeshadow... That's the sort of thing that can happen with this approach.
Yea it looks way better on the right. lol. People just wanna be mad. Just assume they're bots and ignore the chirping
I'm going to assume they're confused about which is left and which is right.
