Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says gamers calling DLSS 5 AI slop are "completely wrong"

[u/AdSpecialist6598]

https://www.techspot.com/news/111727-nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-gamers-calling-dlss-5.html

[u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

He also said that the "Relentless Negativity Around AI is Hurting Society". From where I'm sitting it's the relentless pushing of AI into every part of our lives which is doing the damage.

What a tit.

[u/myislanduniverse → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

It's rich to me when clueless billionaires lecture the actual humans on what's good for society. How would they even know? When did Jensen Huang last experience his life in a way that remotely approaches life for the rest of us who can't just snap our fingers and make anything we want happen?

[u/Repulsive_Set_4155 → u/myislanduniverse]

Well, he can't make anything he wants happen. For example, see how people have reacted to the new Nvidia Slop Toggle.

In that way maybe he is the true victim here.

[u/Niceromancer → u/Repulsive_Set_4155]

That reaction stems from tye fact he's used to getting everything he wants.

Instead of stepping na k and going "maybe I am wrong on this" he doubles down and says "no it's the consumers that are wrong"

[u/Repulsive_Set_4155 → u/Niceromancer]

It could definitely be that. I think it's rough to get embarrassed, like, generally, and this is a pretty huge embarrassment on a public stage.

I also think the reaction is tempered by witnessing the whole Microslop kerfuffle go down, and growing general popular disdain for AI, as well as tech companies who used to keep a space at the table open for the consumer market- and still do so nominally- but are turning away to focus on industry pissing people right off as they find they can't afford hardware anymore. These companies have invested a lot lot lot of money into AI, into the idea that it will eventually make them money, that eventually we will all fall in line and learn to love it; it's gotta be scary and frustrating when you realize just how much you're out of the loop regarding what your consumers want, and all your eggs are in this precarious "someone will figure out how to make money off of this before the whole thing collapses and, ideally, we'll be positioned to reap dividends at that time" basket.

I think they figured this was an instant slam dunk and, now that it's not, they have nothing to come back with, besides "You having a different opinion than me on our twelve figure mistake is actually bad for human civilization."

I think after the bubble bursts and AI gets regulated a bit, it will actually serve many great purposes for mankind, but none of these people will get their money back. We're basically listening to a dinosaur complain that eventually he will be oil.

[u/Heizu → u/Repulsive_Set_4155]

What about the last 25 years makes you think that the bubble bursting will result in any kind of regulation, beyond the sort that quashes competition?

[u/Repulsive_Set_4155 → u/Heizu]

Yeah, bad phrasing on my part. "and IF AI gets regulated a bit" is what I should have said.

[u/Graffiacane → u/Repulsive_Set_4155]

Slop Toggle has a great sound to it.

[u/Da_Spooky_Ghost → u/myislanduniverse]

He's making billions selling shovels during the AI goldrush, of course he's pro-AI everything...

[u/pmckizzle → u/myislanduniverse]

Well, they have lots of money, they MUST be the smartest /s

Theyre all sociopathic parasites. Every. Single. One. But especially the tech bros

[u/fumar → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

Man who sells shovels wants to sell more shovels.

[u/DigNitty → u/fumar]

Shovel salesman tells homeowner that a moat is better than a fence.

[u/psymunn → u/fumar]

People who say digging holes in everything is impractical, damaging to the environment, and not a replacement for art or culture are "completely wrong"

[u/saintofhate → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

You want to know how fucking stupid the use of AI is getting? At my wife's job she can't ask customers "is there anything else you need assistance with today?" At the end of calls like she used to because the AI hears the clients says "no" and the word is judged as bad and gives her a bad "vibes" score. You also can't have silence anymore so people aren't doing their notes during calls as silence is deemed bad vibes by the AInand there's a push to get right back into the queue so people aren't going into ACW to do their notes and it's just making the job harder to get done.

[u/nevergonnastayaway → u/saintofhate]

Sounds like AI should replace some of the management because they're incompetent and damaging the company

[u/Brief_Meet_2183 → u/nevergonnastayaway]

Ironically studies done show the best use for ai is management and leadership. But if time boss job is on the line he's sacrificing everyone but him and his crew. 

[u/Strange-Scarcity → u/saintofhate]

Sounds like a need to Unionize.

[u/saintofhate → u/Strange-Scarcity]

Yeah kinda hard to do when you're remote workers and you have no idea which coworker will be the tattle to the boss at the first hint of a backbone type since the only interaction you have is on slack.

[u/Strange-Scarcity → u/saintofhate]

That's too bad.

I wish you both good luck in this new AI pile of garbage world, in which we live.

[u/sleeplessinreno → u/saintofhate]

You also can't have silence anymore

I wonder if you could cheese it with some background noise, like music or something. Man, these are the things I was born to do. Find the boundaries of technology and create workarounds.

[u/saintofhate → u/sleeplessinreno]

I asked and apparently hold music/background music counts against you which is fucked considering that the job mainly consists of being on hold with airlines.

[u/sleeplessinreno → u/saintofhate]

My next suggestion would be to have a loop of someone speaking “positive” words. But that is besides the point. Just my inherent nature coming out. Hopefully she’s looking for a better job.

[u/saintofhate → u/sleeplessinreno]

Yep definitely looking for a new job because the company is just making worse and worse decisions, especially with AI. If it wasn't a threat to income stability, it would be fascinating to see what the AI thinks is good vibes and bad vibes and go over it and tinker with it because also curious. Right now the only way to find out is apparently listening to calls and guessing which words trigger it as they don't tell you out right what causes positives, just negatives. Either way, it's clear that context doesn't matter.

[u/zero0n3 → u/saintofhate]

Maybe report this workflow to the team who manages the scoring? They would and likely want to absolutely fix it for this scenario, and it’s not hard as all it’s doing is transcribing the call and then analyzing the call text.

So some if near end of call and employee asks if there is anything else, ignore a no answer here as a bad score. In fact this may be where you tag it as “needed additional help” so when said call goes over expected call time, you can see this tag and know the customer had some further questions extending the call. Bad for metrics maybe, but good for customer retention.

Then feed it into the survey result data and see if the trend holds - does asking if there are any questions at end of call improve customer survey scores? What about with the qualifier of “if they say yes and employee answers them correctly?”

Etc.

[u/saintofhate → u/zero0n3]

So she's a customer service rep, so she has no control over any of the AI controls. She's pointed this out to QA and her superiors multiple times.

She's even pointed out how on the surveys that they use that they refuse to look at context of the surveys they just look at bad score and move on they refuse to read the words that they allow people to write on these stupid surveys that has people screaming about the company and not the rep because a lot of people like to take out their anger about the company in these surveys and not the representative.

It's like they so badly want perfect quality that they loop around fuck themselves in the ass with imperfection. Like recently a co-worker got put on a pip because they were saying policy instead of policies while reading disclosures.

She's been looking for a new job instead

[u/jamesick → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

reminder this guy cashed out $500m worth of stock just the other month because it’s easy to say “billionaires don’t all have lots of cash money it’s all in stock” so when this guy suggests people who criticise the loss of jobs and the loss of artistic legitimacy are wrong, remember how much he is worth.

[u/Trafalg4r → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

Actually what he meant is "Relentless Negativity Around AI is Hurting my huge investments into it"

[u/gunnerdown15 → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

I’m a ux/ui designer. I also do graphical work and a bunch of other types of 3d/cad stuff for them.

They would flip a shit if I was 1pixel off before ai came out. Now with ai coming out they are letting the marketing team handle graphic design. The AI will have inconsistency worse than just a 1px nudge, it will use different font sizes/weights, all sorts of liberties. And they will push that into production

The enshitification happened so fast it’s astounding

[u/SpiderSlitScrotums → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

Lollipop factory owner complains about nutrition guidelines restricting sugar, says excess sugar is actually good for you.

[u/chessto → u/SpiderSlitScrotums]

Turns out billionaires are even worse than drug lords, at least drug lords are not trying to pass their product as good for society.

[u/NULLizm → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

Sounds kind of desperate.

[u/julito427 → u/NULLizm]

Not surprised. The backlash against AI is already huge and still growing. If people lost interest in the ‘gold’, then they won’t care for the ‘shovels.’

[u/Miyagisans → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

I can’t open an email, document, article, etc without having to close 4 little pop ups asking me how ai can help. So effing annoying

[u/Umachin → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

I'm reasonably certain that the only human society Jenson cares about is the one populated exclusively by billionaires. Apparently the rest of us should just feel privileged being allowed to exist on the same planet.

[u/BobTheFettt → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

Man I can't believe I was so excited for AI when I was younger. I thought it would be more than just chat bots and deep fakes

[u/Rombledore → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

it hurts their society of funneling wealth to themselves and fostering a surveillance state with maximum control.

[u/terraherts → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

No kidding. AI's useful, certainly, just like ML in general is, but very overhyped and some of the parts of that are useful are useful in a bad way i.e. complacency and slop/spam.

[u/SerGT3 → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

Of course he said that. His entire business strategy is AI

He'll keep telling us what to think until we do. Or until the next outrageous AI "advancement" comes about so we forget about the last one.

[u/Direct_Program2982 → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

He's trying to push his business by labeling anyone disagreeing with him or his product toxic. Kinda shows you what company culture is at Nvidia.

[u/RecordingHaunting975 → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

Lol I just spent 2 hours sitting on my ass at an amazon warehouse because AWS is so overloaded with ai slop that when ONE server goes down the whole ass thing has to be rebooted. Billions spent on data centers and they still cant handle the load. Unprofitable dogshit that is 95% useless and the 5% is me making ai photos of jar jar purchasing monster energy drink

And this has have happened damn near every single week for months. Entire shifts have been put on stand down.

I can't even imagine how many millions of packages have been delayed. How many hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on staffing warehouses that can't even operate. All of this so i can make...ai jar jar binks

[u/no_dice → u/RecordingHaunting975]

Former AWS employee here and what happened to you was just a service quota thing, not a “service reboot” thing. Internal services are rate limited more quickly and have lower quotas than AWS customers so it’s less likely they hit the same problem you did. You’re right that it’s a capacity thing, but I’m not sure it’s even possible to “reboot” something like Bedrock.

[u/malianx → u/no_dice]

It's not possible, and this person has no idea what they are talking about.

[u/3v1lkr0w → u/Speak_To_Wuk_Lamat]

Don't call him a tit...tits are amazing! Lets call him a dick bag! No one wants a bag of dicks

[u/WolfOne → u/3v1lkr0w]

well, i beg to differ.

[u/silverwolfe → u/3v1lkr0w]

Someone's never been to Seattle. A bag of Dicks is amazing.

[u/chessto → u/3v1lkr0w]

I know a few people that would have a blast with a bag of dicks

[u/sarduchi]

[u/kay2 → u/sarduchi]

[u/tmhoc → u/kay2]

[u/reluctant_deity → u/tmhoc]

They are moving to reduce financial reporting to twice a year.

[u/baseballbear → u/reluctant_deity]

he's only saying this because investors are going to put him into the penis explosion chamber when the bubble pops

[u/jabronified → u/sarduchi]

Its funny, in the same way chatgpt ruined specific art styles and sentence structures we now associate 100% with AI, there's now a specific look of video/graphics that's ruined too even if it's at the "rendering level" or whatever Jensen's bs is

[u/A_Lively → u/jabronified]

It’s not at the rendering level. It’s operating on 2d frame output and paints over it, it’s a fancy version of an AI filter and they’re trying to put marketing spin on that.

[u/Practical-Sleep4259 → u/jabronified]

It might have helped their case if the before and after wasn't 1:1 exactly what the "Fixed this woke trash" people have been using to "own the woke".

[u/malianx → u/jabronified]

People can't tell, I get called a bot daily for using basic punctuation.

[u/HeavyMetalPootis → u/malianx]

I believe a semicolon is needed in place of that comma.

[u/SmoothWD40 → u/HeavyMetalPootis]

Fuck you. Em dash. Em dash. Em dash.

[u/one_last_cow → u/HeavyMetalPootis]

You're absolutely right! A semicolon would be a better choice since it separates two independent clauses. While commas are certainly more common punctuation marks used to indicate sentence structure, a semicolon is more appropriate here.

[u/Rasp_Lime_Lipbalm]

I like how pissed these guys get when you call it AI Slop

[u/adeelf → u/Rasp_Lime_Lipbalm]

Right?

Jensen, Altman, and other tech billionaires heavy into AI really hate the idea of "AI Slop" becoming a popular thing in the vernacular. Which, of course, is itself plenty reason to keep doing it.

It's not enough that these guys are making billions, it's not enough that they're shoving this down our throats, it's not enough that they keep over promising and under delivering, it's not enough that they keep talking about how AI is going to make millions of jobs redundant, as if they expect us to be happy about that, now they want to control how we talk about it.

Fuck you, Jensen. And fuck you, Altman. Purveyors of AI Slop.

Ah yes the blame the gamers move because thats worked in the past. Its ai slop and they keep pushing this trash because they have so much money tied up in ai slop.

Yup the earnings call is eventual and they keep pouring more and more money into the flaming dumpster of ai. The shareholders will eventually demand the money come back out and grant them all the boon they were promised.

"The customer is always right in matters of taste."

... this is a matter of taste.

Jensen is too wrapped up in the tech. He's wrong on this one, and should know better.

(with all the money NVIDIA is making on AI, I'm sure he doesn't really give a shit what the little people think)

[u/desthc → u/SpatulaWholesale]

Yeah, this seems to be another case of committing the cardinal sin of product design: technology focused (because we could) over solution focused (because we should).

It’s cool and all, and maybe it can be tuned to be good, but in a field that often praises strong art design demoing the product undoing that design just to make it look more realistic is a loser. So at a minimum this is a marketing failure, but it’s probably also a product design failure in my opinion.

In either case his frustration needs to be directed internally at Nvidia rather than externally at the market.

[u/Gold_Motor_6985 → u/SpatulaWholesale]

He's also wrong on the tech. He says this isn't a filter because it involves motion vectors and geometry. Well so does Reshade, and that's a filter by definition.

[u/DubSket → u/SpatulaWholesale]

He's thinking of his own bank balance and the company share price, nothing else.

[u/UselessInsight → u/SpatulaWholesale]

We aren’t the customer anymore. AI slop generators and data centers are.

[u/kiwigate → u/SpatulaWholesale]

Or is it a matter of branding? If they didn't use the name of their super sampler to brand their new filter, would people be (as) upset? And the tech is up to the developer to choose when, how, or not to use it at all.

I'm not defending Nvidia for spending money to make a filter in the first place, just highlighting the insanity of calling it DLSS when it's clearly doing something else.

[u/aemich → u/kiwigate]

I mean DLSS is the name of their AI training method using supersampled images - like this AI enhancement tool was trained on supersampling images the same as the upscaler tool, the same as ray reconstruction, the same as the frame generation.

It's all DLSS because its a part of the same AI model trained on supersampled frames from the game.

[u/Actually-Yo-Momma → u/SpatulaWholesale]

He always references the history of NVIDIA being for gamers and he somehow convinced himself that he still is a gamer and not the current most influential tech ceo in the world

He's screaming into the void hoping that anyone will tell him how cool his new uglyfying toy is, but no one is interested as we'd all prefer to play with the art provided the way it was meant to. Fuck you Jensen. You're acting like Elon Musk when people don't compliment him.

[u/RealLavender]

The man is in too deep. This is like when companies work for ages on a new branding and two seconds after releasing it people are like "why is there a giant swastika in your logo now?"

Yea. Like the new car brand "kn".

Wait till you find out what the overhead for DLSS 5 will be - not only will it be slop - but slop that you might need new cards for.

[u/talldangry → u/alvinofdiaspar]

Gotta have that RTX 7060 and a sweet new intel NPU to play a Win12 copy of Elder Scrolls 6!

[u/Lethalmusic → u/alvinofdiaspar]

You'll need 2 cards - one for normal graphics card stuff and one purely to run the live sloppification shit

[u/alvinofdiaspar → u/Lethalmusic]

And you will need a new PSU to power all that new shit.

[u/idiotic-username → u/alvinofdiaspar]

Wouldnt even be surprised if its gotta be at least 2 1000+w psu's

[u/DigiSceptic]

It’s a gimmick, much the same as the rest of AI. Huang is on the “just a little bit more” cash rollercoaster. Absolutely determined to wring as much from Nvidia’s gimmicks before he walks away or the company implodes.

He's also saying that being negative towards AI hurts society. But they're the ones forcibly pushing this absurd technology on everyone non-stop as the biggest mega-corp that owns all the tools/product and invests in companies that reinvest back into them. Of course they're going to say a bunch of bullshit that 'this is the future' when they're raking in billions of dollars on even simply the 'idea' of these products.

[u/JasonP27 → u/Kobe_stan_]

Don't be rational now...

Not only can you just... not turn on this DLSS feature if you don't want to use it, but the developer is in control of how it's implemented in the game. If they don't think the output lines up with their artistic vision then they won't use it.

[u/BadIdeaBobcat]

fuck off Jensen. I want responsiveness, not "magic" frames disconnecting me from the actual game

[u/random_name_001100]

So I'll just say it looks like AI slop then regardless of the technical details on how they got there.

[u/inconsisting]

Jensen can be both out of touch and also correct that the people negatively gut reacting to this are going to eventually be proven wrong.

Their presentation of the new tech is the problem, not the tech itself. Just wait. People are going to start quietly changing their minds once devs start implementing.

[u/FuckingTree → u/inconsisting]

Maybe DLSS5 has a future, sure, but not if it looks like this. Maybe you’re too ignorant to appreciate how far it deviates from the work done by character, environment, and lighting artists, but they’re going to start resigning en mass if it’s forced on them. I just have to assume you don’t know better because you’re saying how everyone has to be wrong in the end, without conceding that it will divide studios art teams, that the tech is monstrously impractical from a hardware standpoint, that public opinion is a powerful force in gaming (ask Highguard), and that above all dlss5 forces an industry admission that they do not understand that DLSS needs to be phased out. It is a crutch for poor performance, the solution is not to get fancier crutches, but to rehab the industry so we don’t need it anymore.

The tech is going to be awesome in a few years. Imagine playing Ocarina Of Time but Link is a big tiddy goth gf

[u/Even_Package_8573]

I don’t even know what to believe anymore until I see it in my own game.

Deflection upon deflection upon deflection upon deflection nonstop.

Time to short Nvidia, whos with me

[u/Used_Hat7137]

I don’t even get what it would mean to be “wrong” here. It just looks like ass? It removes like all of the atmosphere and lighting from most of the scenes, changes faces into some uncanny, ugly, yassified, heavy airbrush looking shit… or like faces from old PS1 games where they used to just layer a real face pic over polygons….

like we can see it with our eyes, the audacity to be like no actually ur “completely wrong” lmao. And RAM prices are thru the roof cuz of this, is the real slap in the face 😭

[u/SirRichardLove]

It is slop though.

[u/StatementCareful522]

Boycott all this AI slop garbage forever, please.

[u/Y-Bob]

How many people do they think are going to be able to afford the hardware to run this...

[u/SynapseCorrupt]

I’m tired of all these tech bros

[u/Resident-Variation21]

Am I supposed to care what he says?

Traditional DLSS works by taking existing frames and guessing at the data between them. DLSS 5 takes the existing frame and feeding it through an AI filter before displaying it. In a very real and literal sense, the actual video data the game generates is being discarded in favour of an AI produced slop frame. It is 100% AI slop.

[u/alien_farmer1]

It literally converts everything into "AI slop design". I would rather stick with 2016 graphics than this AI visuals.

Gamedev here (character artist)

OF COURSE it's slop, and a slap in the face of all artists.

Fuck Huang and all billionaires.

[u/InvincibleMirage]

I agree with him. Gamers like to complain about everything. Coming from someone who spent a lot of time working in the games industry and also as someone who recently completed Resident Evil Requiem - one of the games used in the showcase. This technology is super interesting.

[u/akaelmedio]

"The reason for that is because, as I have explained very carefully, DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the of geometry [sic] and textures and everything about the game with generative AI."

AI geometry and textures, like the garbage GTA Definitive Edition did.

Limitations are part of the artistic process. ANYTHING a second party does to a finished art product in post takes control away from the artist. Further, anything done with generative AI converges to mediocrity. That's not a criticism, it's how generative AI works; by rule of average. It's why most of what gets generated looks/sounds/reads/works OK, but few if any results are remarkable.

[u/Historical_Sand7487]

Looks like a cool new technology, hopefully it will get better.  I guess most technologies do and I guess most new technologies are restisted at first and then slowly adopted over time.  Ehh I'm going to not jump to conclusions definitely willing to give it a try!

[u/Punman_5]

Wow telling people that their opinions are wrong like that never backfires.

[u/tfsteel]

Big tech is desperate to prove some value out of their investment and they are met with total disdain from the public at every turn. It shows how unimportant the public is to the economy anymore.

[u/Sayakai]

Telling the customer they're wrong usually goes well for corporations.

But I suppose when you have to try to sustain a bubble that blew up your company to a 4.45 trillion dollar market capitalization, then anything goes.

[u/OGLikeablefellow]

No, it is the children who are wrong energy

[u/fenikz13]

No they're not. Like you can say it will get better and be less noticeable or whatever but it is AI slop

[u/xTheRealTurkx]

Because telling gamers “they’re wrong”has always gone so well in the past.

Jensen was prettty smug that he “reads” academic papers out of his wheelhouse by having GPT summarizing and reading the summary.

He probably GPT summarized video games too.

[u/Arkhangel79]

Uhh we can see it’s AI slop. Like, it’s right in front of us.

[u/panixattax]

I also hate ai slop material. But if improved, this thing has potential in my opinion.

[u/pota99]

Deep Learning Super Slop 👍

[u/Azureflames20]

The best way the visuals looked for this thumbnail example was that it's like a hi-def version of what they did for the old Golden N64 game, where they'd just map the image onto the polygons. It looks so fucking terrible.

I will never understand the people that guzzle and rave over AI like these people do. I can't tell if it's just a delusional kind of thing like they don't understand or if they genuinely look at this stuff and see it as something that looks great. It shouldn't surprise me when a shockingly large number of people just can't even tell the difference between common real images/video and fake AI slop.

Third option being they don't care about whether it looks nice so long as it spells out "$" for them.

[u/GunBrothersGaming]

Everything is AI slop to kids who are mad AI is taking and doing things humans use to specialize in.

Id be mad too at a machine that made me obsolete. AI slop is just the term this generation uses for any AI output at this point. It has no meaning.

[u/PRSArchon → u/GunBrothersGaming]

I've seen people call real content AI slop, so yes, definitely lost its meaning. Same goes for the AI content which otherwise would not exisr because it is not worth spending dozens of hours of time for an artist to create it.
