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.

Can I have this for teams? I work with so many ugly people that I need to paint them over in real time 😁

I don't care if 2 50x somethings need to run on 100 percent half the day.

Its one of those things that I really hope they make optional, a fun thing to turn on and play with but not always over every game ugh.

I would looooove to play some AI-transformed Balenciaga games lol

I've seen prerendered indie games do this deliberately. I do NOT understand it, at all.

Just to be clear, this is what you have a problem with: https://streamable.com/j0ryqe

Of course the whales are going to buy those cards.

It’s bad now, it’s gonna get worse soon… I do feel that modern video games have plateaued in recent years, with the addition of this I do believe that we are staring down the barrel of a Grand Canyon sized crash.

@popcar2
It's so bad. Artstyle ruined AND is running off of a SECOND GPU. How did Nvidia okay this...?
Also sad to see Digital Foundry approve this. I thought they were better than that.

It does not generate a new image, thus generates no AI slop in my book. It is literally an image filter with AI, which is what DLSS already was. This circlejerk slop has torpedoed any discussion about the actual flaws - the uncanny valley effect during animation, the ridiculous amount of GPU power this technology seems to need, how absurd it is in the actual economy - and has substituted it for its circlejerk hallucination that this is just them sneaking image generation into DLSS.

  • It takes color and motion vectors and passes it as input through AI - same as previous versions of AI.

  • It generates no new shapes or geometry.

  • It just applies changes to lighting and materials, basically creating a mask over the original.

If you call this "image generation", you might as well call any filter that. This is not the generative AI the circlejerk slop is hallucinating. It's an evolution of what DLSS was able to achieve before.


I've actually just been corrected, this was referred to employ some form of generative AI by Jensen. It's also significantly different enough to what I generally thought of as AI slop and my issues with it that it could also be said that I am a supporter of generative AI now.
