Thankfully there are plenty of developers that haven’t drank the AI Kool aid and are still cranking out great games that have artistic integrity that didn’t require even a single 5090.

Dude is just being a obtuse troll. Just block and move on.

I think to your second point, since this AI Instagram filter is based on a 2D picture with no understanding of the light source or materials, even the background with this tech will ruin things.

One of the things I said in another post is that the DLSS demo with Grace was that I wasn’t just thrown by the face, I honestly was also thrown by the brightly lit background that really undermined what that scene was trying to convey.

To me the original scene was somber, she’s visiting a murder scene, the background amplifies that somber time with everything darker, shadows everywhere threatening to consume the light. The DLSS 5 scene, everything is brighter, shinier and now that same scene isn’t helping to convey the getting atmosphere, it’s like the darkness is being overcome.

So figured I wouldn’t give this attention seeker any more attention but I find it funny this poster shushed you about adults taking when it looks like they abandoned the discussion they were having with me about generative AI vs modding in a heavily downvoted thread, hence the whole agreeing with the previous poster thing.

Guess this guy didn’t want a adult discussion.

Just a reminder that the GTA trilogy was the shining example the last time people used AI to remaster an old game.

Maybe? But considering that it’s a 2D image with no underlying information about the models it would probably put light on things that shouldn’t be lit up, actually detracting from what it should look like.

Yeah, I’m definitely and idiot for thinking you had actual coherent thought.

Again, the key distinction to me is that a human had the idea and created it not fucking AI, not a mishmash other artists styles and ideas, it’s a unique individual’s idea and style that is ultimately produced.

If you use AI as the main creator then you’ve lost control of artistic vision because it’s not yours anymore. There’s a fine line between using a tool to help you get to something and stealing another person’s idea.

So let’s go with you Shrek analogy. At some point a human created Shrek as a unique idea and made it come to life. Now you want to use Shrek as in mod as a NPC, at that point my view is you’ve got no actual creative artistic intent there, you’re just using another humans idea but at some point at least it was a humans unique idea and if you had no idea how to make that into a 3d model to incorporate into your game then AI tools could help you make a Shrek model. I won’t call it AI slop completely but I’d definitely call it uninspired garbage and a complete theft of another persons idea without adding anything of substance but at least I could understand that you liked Shrek and wanted Shrek in your game, original game designer be damned I want Shrek all the time. And again, with mods, I’m free to never, ever install your mod.

To me human intent and choice is the biggest difference even with your analogy you would at least you would understand what the artists intent for the game was and made the conscious decision that Shrek would be better suited in the game and not generative AI going in and simply replacing everyone’s face with Shrek because a model stated Shrek’s face was what the model’s if/else statements averaged out between a whole set of pictures faces.

No I’m a human that can at least understand my own argument.

Irrelevant to you point? Damn, so you don’t even understand your own argument then.

Your first line is literally this:

It’s astonishing to me that PC gamers are suddenly so focused on the “creative intent” of game visuals

and then you’re the one who starts equating mods and how they’ve been altering “creative intent” and implying DLSS 5’s generative AI is no different.

The whole argument about this tech is ALL about creative intent when DLSS is not understanding the game and forcing an algorithmic take on the creative intent not just about how bad it looks.

Fuck man, get your shit in order with a coherent stance and argument.
