I don’t like AI but christ Lemmy is getting annoying lately with kneejerk “slop” claims for anything with the letters AI in it. A lot of this stuff has been used for ages and yeah, they’re leaning into the current hype but the over reaction is just ridiculous (see: the “open slop” list of open source projects that includes those that have the audacity to allow developers the ability to use AI line completion)
Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game
zaphod@sopuli.xyz 4 hours agoDLSS is short for Deep Learning Super Sampling, it does the upscaling using deep learning, what people also call AI. The upscaler has to be trained on images. Depending on how you train it you either get something that looks almost exactly the same as the game at a higher resolution or you get AI slop.

I’m aware of how it works, but the results aren’t bad. Worst case scenario is you get some ghosting with DLSS, but it’s far from what I’d call AI slop.

But it literally follows the same process. Why is one slop, but not the other? You’re being hypocrital.

One is upscaling the image while preserving it as much as possible, the other is applying a filter to try and “enhance” it. What’s hard to get?

How is “upscaling while preserving it” not literally the exact same philosophy as “enhance by applying a filter?” You just don’t like the specific filter, it’s very literally the same process.

Not all answers are easy. This new dlss looks like it was trained on stolen work. Old dlss had a neutral network that was tuned before the plagiarism machine became popular.
