My first reaction to DLSS5 can be summarized as “🤮”. So now this completely discards artistic intent, and replaces all game characters with fake instagram influencers?

Is it just me?

NVIDIA DLSS 5 Delivers AI-Powered Breakthrough In Visual Fidelity For Games

NVIDIA DLSS 5 infuses pixels with photorealistic lighting and materials to bridge the gap between rendering and reality.

@aras Companies just won't stop filling this timeline with gazillions of AI-enabled things nobody needs.

Make it stop.

@aras At some point we can just forget about making models, animations, whatever, and ship low-poly soups because some AI shit will do whatever the hell it wants with the pixels, AI-"enhancing" them anyway.

@molecularmusing @aras This is how VR worked in Lukyanenko's Labirynth trilogy. The first novel was released in 1997, and the setting was era-appropriate, so you had 486 or maybe Pentiums, software rendering, and modems. There was a plot point about needing to stay "inside" for 15 minutes or so, while hunted, because 3 MB of data had to be downloaded.

The VR in the books worked by drawing crude shapes on the screen, while you were in a psychedelic trance that made you see them as a real world.

@molecularmusing @aras that would work perfectly with ai generated low poly models and textures right? Get ai to do all the work and creativity, that's what they're aiming for.
@molecularmusing Make everything out of cubes with text labels on them for prompts. >_<
