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.
I think you already know. There will be a not-small sunset of developers who will slop their “vision” so you’re not losing anything when you slop it up some more.
Even if there are artists who will use AI to generate assets there’s still some human element of picking the asset the artist is happy with. There’s a miniscule amount of human creativity even in that case and this is removing what little there was.
