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.

Meh, progress on graphical realism basically stalled out in the last 10 years. It was a matter of time before AI became the tech that pushes it to the next level. I personally don’t think it looks terrible. It looks more realistic if anything. If you don’t like this particular case or the beautification filter, that is one thing, but I don’t see it as refuting the use of the technology as a whole.

Edit: yep, I clicked the post and watched the promo clip. I gotta say, it looks great. I think if you’re saying otherwise, you just aren’t being honest. Lemmy has an ax to grind about a lot of weird shit. It’s odd as hell. I could not careless about the downvotes. Doesn’t change my view.

The self aggrandizing of the edit is priceless.

The only thing aibros love more than ai is their own farts.

Nothing says 'I don't care if you downvote me' like editing in a George Orwell quote to cope. lol
