Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game
TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
It does not generate a new image, thus generates no AI slop in my book. It is literally an image filter with AI, which is what DLSS already was. This circlejerk slop has torpedoed any discussion about the actual flaws - the uncanny valley effect during animation, the ridiculous amount of GPU power this technology seems to need, how absurd it is in the actual economy - and has substituted it for its circlejerk hallucination that this is just them sneaking image generation into DLSS.
-
It takes color and motion vectors and passes it as input through AI - same as previous versions of AI.
-
It generates no new shapes or geometry.
-
It just applies changes to lighting and materials, basically creating a mask over the original.
If you call this “image generation”, you might as well call any filter that. This is not the generative AI the circlejerk slop is hallucinating. It’s an evolution of what DLSS was able to achieve before.

If it gets any more refined, it will probably make it onto Indiana Jones and The Great Circle and Cyberpunk 2077, and if I didn’t mind supporting an abusive monopoly feeding a global cartel and their overpriced markets I might even consider trying it.
This just does not have the same issues with AI slop that I’m concerned about, although it still has plenty of tertiary issues that will make me ignore it on my PC.

Actually sane person? No way!

Considering NVIDIA’s approach to using pirated media for training, I doubt they paid for any of the training data. If that’s something you care about.

That’s a good point, but this technique isn’t suddenly going to be replacing people’s works, jobs, or IP.

It’s image generation just like the prototypes that converted your drawings into “realistic” image are. It’s clearly completely redrawing the frame into a new one using the output of the game as a basis.

At most it’s texture generation, but if Jensen already identified it as generative AI, I’m not sure why they would then go and lie about it only affecting lighting and material at the pixel level.
This it is not, and if Jensen hadn’t referred to as generative AI, I would still think it’s just an evolution of what DLSS had been doing, except expanded to lighting and materials.

Downvoted for ruining the circlejerk AI hate without bothering to understand the technology.

It’s worse, I made plenty of criticism to go along with those comments. They are downvoting not only anything that breaks the circlejerk, and they’ve been given free reign to be as toxic as possible, to the point of just being able to get away with spamming multiple communities with claims I’m a bot - and I can’t even have my usual fun trolling back in the sea of downvotes because I wrongly dismissed that this was generative AI, something Jensen himself had referred to as 😭
It would be funny if my account is lost for an issue so temporary. I’ve already begun to see the circlejerk try to get over what this actually is by switching over from claiming it is AI slop to saying it just makes it look like it and criticism that’s actually more valid. Still, it’s led to the pretty funny circumstances of people implying I’m an NVIDIA shill, because that also implies that NVIDIA shills have to now get around by telling people they should not support the abusive monopoly feeding the AI bubble through global cartels that they are.
