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

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.

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.

DLSS 5 introduces a real-time neural rendering model that infuses pixels with photoreal lighting and materials. Bridging the divide between rendering and reality, DLSS 5 empowers game developers to deliver a new level of photoreal computer graphics previously only achieved in Hollywood visual effects.
DLSS 5 takes a game’s color and motion vectors for each frame as input, and uses an AI model to infuse the scene with photoreal lighting and materials that are anchored to source 3D content and consistent from frame to frame. DLSS 5 runs in real time at up to 4K resolution for smooth, interactive gameplay.
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.
It’s image generation just like the prototypes that converted your drawings into “realistic” image are.
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.

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.

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.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 days ago:
Think again. You are falling for the circlejerk slop in this thread and think this is actually generative AI.
DLSS 5 basically works best with high-resolution ray traced render stills because it works on a frame by frame basis. It doesn’t modify shape or geometry, it achieves that much by just manipulating the lighting and materials that are applied. If you actually compare screenshots side by side, you’ll find they include all of the same elements.
With Daggerfall, it wouldn’t really work out, insert pixelated mess, get pixelated mess, although it might be interesting to see.

I’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.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 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.

It’s funny that it, using children as a form of gaslighting, is an attitude so obviously wrong it was the plot twist of a Hero movie, but when it’s happening in reality with people who are more openly nefarious people don’t seem to care. One thing that I consider proved beyond doubt is that most people can’t really be taught even when it’s easily digestible entertainment media, the core basic critical thinking skills to bridge the gap from one context to another just aren’t there, otherwise politicians wouldn’t be able to continue using the same form of gaslighting over and over and over again.

People who make financial decisions also tend to be poor. It’s worse than that, those types of ads prey on the vulnerable.

You literally can, that’s what legislating and voting is. When did society become so utterly braindead?
- Comment on Steam :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve 1 week ago:
The TF2 loot crates were the worst, but you could get around them for crafting except for visuals. What’s crazy to me is that people are getting mad over visuals in loot boxes and that the gambling is largely over that. I don’t think you can put all the shit leading up to that to one company, yet bureaucrats persistently try to do it to avoid acknowledging their own dismal efforts to get their feet wet in implementing some basic legislation on the matter.
Before it used to be Asian MMOs that basically targeted people with addictive personalities with paid for RNG boosts that gave actual in-game advantages (and they will still exist, because they are not loot boxes, just dice rolls), now people are getting this invested over skins and 3D models. We need to address the core of the problem, because the same people falling for this bullshit are also the ones who fall for populist reactionary political bullshit pushing scammers onto our governments. Education and our social nets are clearly failing, and going after one of the better companies that’s guilty of this is not going to do anything when the problem is literally coming from the highest tiers of government as they rush to get their friends and family invested in predatory ventures. It’s sort of like living in Nazi Germany and thinking the most important thing to complain about is whether businesses forced to be sold are really getting their money’s worth instead of being forced to sell to whomever can buy them up the soonest.
- Comment on Steam :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve 1 week ago:
You can tell a lot of money is being moved on the dark web to push shit onto Valve. I wonder how much pressure they are under to try to get them to go public. The change needs to be legislative, not targeted.
- Comment on Steam :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve 1 week ago:
You’re right! We should stop that too!
Then it needs to be done through legislation, not targeted court cases.
