Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game
TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 2 days agoI’m sure there will be cases it does have that effect, but that isn’t a hag on the right, that’s just an old person with wrinkles. If it was making them up, I’d agree with your hagification claim, but every single wrinkle was present beforehand. It just genuinely looks like a better version, whereas the one on the left looks like a lower res version of the same render.
It’s probably going to look horrible in gameplay though, the uncanny valley effect of motion is ridiculous.

I think, why people perceive that right image as older is because the wrinkles carve much deeper. Yeah, same number of wrinkles, but it looks like they got chiseled down by 20 additional years…

It looks like what wrinkles do if someone is covered in soot and then wipes their face. The definition of the wrinkles is insane.

I think the algorithm just realized that it involved someone old because it draws a lot of other characters without this excessive filter. Out of curiosity, I looked the character up, and she’s supposed to be old and even haggish as the professor of defense against the dark arts: www.thehergula.com/wp-content/…/Dinah-Hecat.jpg The wiki even describes her as having been aged excessively by being “injured by time itself”. Honestly, DLSS 5 did an apt rendition at least for this character.

I mean, yeah, but you’re kind of saying what the others here were saying, too, in that when something fits the anywhere close to the “old hag” category, that the probabilities will shove it entirely towards “old hag”.
That it’s somewhat fitting for this character, I would expect to be coincidence. Like, maybe they did actually give the image generator somewhat of a system prompt for this demo, that it should make her look extra wrinkly.
But yeah, shoving all depictions of women either towards young model or old hag is quite emblematic of these image generators, so personally, I don’t think, it was even necessary…

True, but this is what this filter is actually doing: streamable.com/j0ryqe
It can manipulate lighting and material, but it has to be in the source material, if that makes sense.
