    The AI lighting does not look natural. It looks like an early Dave Hill photo which were heavily processed to look hyper real. Not a fan of this studio look

  2. Thought this sounded kinda like clickbait but I watched the video in the article and it literally does make it look like AI slop.

  3. I am not as anti AI as a lot of people but I agree that the examples in the video often look nothing like what the designers wanted the characters to look like.

    I don’t know. The AI version adds a lot of details to faces, it lightens up the environment, add reflections to windows. It doesn’t seem like that much of a drastic change and adds a lot to it.

  5. This just in: a company that makes a stupid amount of money off of shitty AI companies (and also the worst humans of the planet, billionaires who created artificial GPU scarcity so they can increase GPU prices to anti consumer levels) wants to suck up to the shitty AI companies while abandoning the user base that made them successful

  6. The Coca-Cola commercials from a few years ago are an example of actual slop.

    This is not slop. It’s not perfect, but it’s a neat concept and far from slop.

    Stop calling -anything- that’s done with AI slop. It doesn’t make you sound cool or superior or on trend.

  7. I think I’m in the minority here but just based on photos and videos I’ve seen I think it looks great!

    I was searching for the words “AI slop” this Sunday ago. Just thought the words “AI slop”, especially “slop”, were funny enough to write on and search.

    There was barely anything on the Reddit search, unbeknownst to me that 2 days later an actual big AI slop was to happen.

  9. I presumed the outrage was a bit overblown… but my god.. it’s surely an early April Fools Day gag? This can’t be real

  10. I like it, itll get better in the future for sure also. Its not really upscaling though so theyve gotta reel that ai “face” back so it matches the original more.

    I’m definitely against AI slop but not all AI is slop.

    AI is too good of a technology to not be used in games eventually
    e.g. having NPC’s that can have improvised conversations with you

    I just want to see it used right

    I wanted something like this once i saw GTA V remodeled in “realtime” using photos of gremany, when first AI videos started to surface and i think it would be a neat feature to just toggle on for shits and giggles eg. GTA SA or some other older game to make “auto-remaster” like on YT videos. but its not DLSS.

    It looks phenomenal. Even the games artists have control of it. You have the option to turn it off or on and the videos we saw used 2 GPUs so not like many people will be playing with that set up. The pictures on the right look soooo much better than the ones on the left. Remember, you choose to use this feature so crying about it is just silly.

  14. Imagine being a professional artist making a AAA video game, and tech ceos (not just some jerk on twitter) run your work through an AI filter to “make it better” and force that on your players.

    Absolute madness.

    Gaming is like 1% of their profit. If you told Jensen that gamers were unhappy, he’d ask if gamers are a new AI model. Otherwise, don’t care, ship it.

  16. Am i the only one that thinks that the examples look way better with dlss5 on?
    Sure the lighting is maybe a bit overpronounced, but there is way more detail.

  17. TheBotFromReddit974 on

    So the math is to make a PS2 game and ask player to turn on DLSS 5 to get a photorealistic realistic.. ho yeah game optimization 🤡

  18. You want to use dlss 5 to enhance? That’s fine, but it should be left to the artists to determine the art directions, and is the ai going to interpret it the same every single time? Until you can have fine controls over settings there’s gonna be a lot of inconsistencies and artifacts.

  19. Even the most realistic video games still look like video games and not like real footage, and I could see a place for a technology that helps make it look photorealistic, but this just looks unreal in a different and uncanny way.

  20. Said it in another post, and will say it again: This is the WORST, FAKEST, SCAMMIEST, and Most DISHONEST Fucking “Innovation” a Graphics card maker has ever introduced to the public in 20 Years

  21. Otherwise-Sun2486 on

    Hello Amd my next gaming card. When you start altering a developer’s artistic direction design it is going to far.

  22. Buttermilk-Waffles on

    Not gonna lie I’m on a small work screen and thought the thumbnail was Hillary Clinton lol

  23. Leave peoples art alone with this AI slop. That’s why I’m hard against all of It. letting some of it slide leads to shit like this. Let me shit all over your art direction and let AI make everything look like a twitter gooners dream.

    >The demo in the video embedded below required two Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090

    Holy crap, they had me. It isn’t even April 1st yet.

    This is really, really, really not my problem.

    Does any company actually do user research anymore? Like, obviously a massive fuck load of money was spent on developing this, and yet no one thought to consult the massive gaming fan base on steam forums or reddit, or discord? Like come on.

    Im no where near the smartest person in a room at any given time, but I feel like hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries are being wasted on people who don’t have a lock of common sense.

    So if anyone is hiring for a role that needs a modicum of thought and common sense, hey, I’m available, and I’m probably cheaper than your other guy.

    They have no choice but to inundate us with this fucking slop nobody wants because they already spent the money. They will shoehorn it into *anything and everything* to attempt to justify their horrifically misguided investments.

    All at our expense, of course.

    Are we ready to stand up to this shit yet? I mean for fucks sake, it couldn’t be any more obvious what’s going on. The elites have voted us off the island, and once they’re done sucking the last bit of life force and profit from us, we’ll be discarded.

    The billionaires got rich by stealing our data and personal information (by trapping us in echo chambers ensuring the fingers get pointed at one another instead of at them) and selling it to the highest bidder. Then they used the entire history of the internet we all contributed to, to train the models that we ultimately funded with our tax dollars.

    And guess what is going to replace us? Replace us with zero plan as to how the rest of us will survive, by the way. They’re just going to let us fend for ourselves and pray we don’t have the balls to unite together.

    They built this current world entirely off of our backs and we get to share in virtually *none of the wealth from it.*. Instead, it’s making the rich richer and the poor poorer at breakneck speeds.

    The Iran war and this current Trump regime? The absolute perfect setting for another massive wealth transfer while everyone is busy trying to recover from the “flooding the zone” whiplash Trump so effortlessly provides. They’re ramming through legislation behind the scenes to ensure they never have to answer to any of us peasants ever again.

    I’m so exhausted.

  27. Out with art style creativity and individuality…. In with the same slop thats clogging up the youtube space now too.

  28. yeah, no… I am totally fine with DLSS 4/4.5 that upscale from lower resolution, hell – I am fine with frame generation! This is just going way too far, it’s literally “AI slop” and not upscaling – it changes fully what the artists intended. Nvidia trying to damage control with “the creator have the control” is obv dmg control. Dude, if it was true, then the demo was not going to be as bad lolz…

  29. I see a grim future where the base assets are weird gormless things and this is a required feature you pay some stupid cloud service for to paint features and textures on everything or the game doesn’t otherwise work at all.

    I think the examples are improved by it. My main question is consistency. I don’t want to see grandma with wrinkles then she turns around and all her wrinkles are gone or different. If it isn’t able to maintain consistency in detail then I’d rather not have it. I hope nVidia gives developers ability to control or influence how it renders to control some of this.

  31. No it doesn’t. Stop spreading this nonsense. Games have art directors and teams of artists that have influence over their game’s output. This is not the same as some idiot with an AI account making engagement bait.
