DLSS 5 is so such a leap backward. and I'm going to explain why: -When you're creating an environment, every choice is fitting the direction for a specific reason. Looking “better” or “more good” is not only missing the point. DLSS5 doesn't look better. It's just random

It's good to see backlash against DLSS 5, even from hacks who said they supported using AI for generating comic book art and prose for novels. Now let's all take the training wheels off, get back to being creative, and never speak of this AI trash again.

Jensen trying really hard to aikido the negative sentiment that DLSS 5 is post-processed “AI slop.” Kind of wild that the term “generative AI” has become a liability for the company that literally coined the GPU revolution. [video]

Lots of these are the DLSS 5 pass being opinionated on how light should interact with those surfaces, based on training data. Decent chance their training data has more women wearing lipstick than men. Similar for other changes.

i think DLSS 5 is shit from a butt, but it's also exhausting to see people immediately get the pitchforks out for digital foundry and say shit like “the little credibility they have left is GONE” “RIP DF” etc etc. some people are so binary, you must LOVE or HATE, no nuance
