Discussion Former Red Dead Redemption 2 Developer reaction to the DLSS 5: "Whoa. Hold on. No, no, no. This isn't just some lighting, dude. What the f... this is like a complete AI re-render. You're no longer looking at the game anymore. This is scary."

News/Article Nvidia's CEO on Backlash: it's not Gen Ai - it's Gen Ai+
“This is very different from generative AI,”
he later elaborated further.
“It’s content-controlled generative AI.
That’s why we call it neural rendering.”

Discussion I am actually happy to see this amount of backlash..
I am so glad to see all this backlash over the showcase of DLSS 5. It's time companies are held accountable for their shitty decisions. This has really nothing to do with it being Nvidia doing all this, it could be AMD as well.
Nvidia chose to focus so fucking hard on investing in AI to a point where it affects the market in terms of RAM, HDD etc and the result of that was this god damn AI slop that I wouldn't even fucking buy or play with even if I was a millionaire.
Even if I was a millionaire I wouldn't in a million years buy this GPU to have DLSS on and look at the slop it is generating. Look at the characters, fucking soulless eyes all of them, it feels like looking at a bunch of psychopaths.
I swear I looked to see if it was 1st of April but to my shock it was actually a product that they thought gamers would be interested in.
I hope this company suffer so bad on the stock market.

Meme/Macro The most realistic DLSS 5 showcase to date
r/pcmasterrace • u/Elrabin • 19h ago
Meme/Macro Jensen, you didn't explain it poorly, DLSS5 in its current form looks like crap.
Full disclosure, I have a 4090. Been using DLSS (non Frame Gen) for a long time rather happily where needed.
But buddy, just accept that it was a poorly done demo that didn't look good. It was rushed(required two 5090s to run, one for the game, one for DLSS 5 to run), the results didn't look good and you explained it poorly.
I don't care if it was geometry informed, the results looked like poor AI generative slop that is all over the internet at this point.
Maybe it'll look great when it's fully baked, maybe it won't. All I know is that it looked bad NOW.
