  Referring to technological progress as slop is being very predictably monotonous. AI isn’t exclusively a black box. There are tunings and imposed considerations that can be made so the AI DOES know about anything it needs to. The technology is only in preview form, and you seemingly expect immediate perfection, rather than incremental progress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the light of recent news regarding DLSS5...⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen any negative response to DLSS5 except by people who literally only see timeless, unerring holy art when they look at anything. IDK who thinks making games visually enhanced over the artist’ limited tools/time/abilities is a deterioration.

  Yes, sir! Reporting for duty!

  I don’t think that’s possible unless the LLM has access to the satellite to mile ratio. Likely an hallucination.

  It did. The screenshot was from Google Maps which had the scale in the corner. I tried searching for a Google Maps plugin that offered the same functionality, but I couldn’t find any that would let me free form draw a shape on the map. So I took a screenshot, drew a red shape, and gave it to Gemini. It showed me all the steps it was going through, the math looked legit and seemed realistic to me.

  Stealing from artists 🙄

  How is it stealing from an artist? No artist created it. This is even less like stealing than downloading pirated films. In both cases, no one lost anything. Are you arguing that had I not had access to generative AI that I would have sought out and paid someone to craft a wallpaper for me? I would not have. I’d just use some free art online. Where is the theft? Are you saying someone, somewhere already created my exact wallpaper? Shall I upload it, and you can tell me where it already exists and I could have purchased it?

  Art is not about talent, it’s about continuous, rigorous training and improvement over years.

  Yes, time. I don’t have those years. I spent my years studying machine learning instead.

  And? They’re still tools. They exist. They can be used for things other than fascism. Just today I used an LLM to determine the area of a plot of land from a satellite photograph. I used generative AI to create a phone wallpaper background that matched my phone case.

  Did the fascists gain power over me?

  Do you think it have been better if I spent my time manually measuring the area, determining the math, and calculating the area of land? Should I have made an inferior version of the wallpaper manually?

  If you think so, you must have more time and creative talent than me. Enjoy your privilege, but don’t shame those without.

  Some, yes, not all. No one company created the technology. You can’t use a blanket accusation to condemn all forms of machine learning just because Altman (OpenAI), Zuckerberg (Meta) and Elon Musk are obvious fascists, and they’re championing the technology. Call them out specifically, it’s more effective than “all AI bad.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t bother. Lemmy is host to an irrational, angry mob. There’s plenty of good reasons to be angry but the mob is hyper focused on any form of machine learning because they can’t understand it, and that breeds fear, frustration and anger faster than the the easily understandable institutes of corruption actually enslaving them. AI is a big, easy target - it will continue to be hated until the generations that hate it die out. Same as happened prior with the Internet, phones, and even cars.

  Although, there’s a FuckCars community, so maybe the mindset will cling on by adherents perpetuating their hate beyond their lifespans. Just like racism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree with multiple assertions you’ve made. It doesn’t steal anything. Neither does it have a goal. People using it may steal, and those with the most successful products may have goals - but that’s not the technology. This is like saying guns are fascist. Or cars are fascist. Or phones are fascist.

  It’s a tool, and like any tool, the motive and ethics of it’s use is directly attributable to the user, not the tool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👾 The Future is Here 👾⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  See, that’s what I’m talking about! What a unique, weird experience it would be to play this game if everything was hyper realistic. Like walking through a carnival mirror house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol. I am as far from fascist as one can get. Based on your answer, I don’t believe you even know what fascism is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The next Gen gaming eggsperience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, now I’m anti-DLSS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The guess would be entirely wrong, of course, but I can sense that has never stopped you before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw my tag and have to say, you don’t make for a very convincing Nvidia shill bot. You should try making a new account, again.

  “Point” is a matter of opinion. That may be the point to you, or to an artist, but it’s not universal. The point, to others, may be novelty of experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d counter that people who think others must think as they do are mentally ill.

  “You can’t appreciate that! It offends me, and therefore must be banned. NO ONE can enjoy it. All must think as I do.”

  That’s what the people in this thread sound like to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Anti-choice, got it 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, so if we want to see what it could look like if it were remade, this technology would be the only really option. It’s certainly more likely than an army of volunteers dodging C&D orders while donating their free time to construct a fan remake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the heads up, I’ve marked you as such.

  Why did you have to make a new account to shill, though? I’d think you’d want you use an existing one if you had it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed on all points. I just personally see this as one more mod that would be fun to see how it interpreted those graphics of yesteryear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool is subjective, though. I personally think it’s cool to offer options to change and reimagine art. Let personal preference dictate whether someone enables it, or not. Hate isn’t necessary, but it’s in abundance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I sincerely think you hit the nail on the head. The overreaction isn’t fully attributable to the efforts to offer an alternative graphical approach to games, but pent up anger at systemic issues that minimize individuals. It’s just sad to see, especially as someone who appreciates having options. No one is forced to use DLSS, of any variant, but the way people react you’d think it was going to be hard-coded as enabled in every future game, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. It’s just frustrating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good! Everyone should be able to make that choice, but it’s only a choice when an option is offered - which is what this technology accomplishes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing inherently has meaning, except that which the beholder imparts to it. By your same logic, you’re dismissing the work of the creators of this technology. There’s room for both to exist - options are good! No one is forcing people to play a certain way, but I get the impression many here wish their own preference was enforced on everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do understand that. It doesn’t deter me. Interesting is all that it needs to be. Doesn’t even have to be subjectively better. Just different, to relive classics in a new perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree… But they could look better. I’d like to see how that would look, even if it offends an artist to know it isn’t the exact image they originally created decades ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Spend a decade getting an advanced degree in a technology that genuinely excites you, ignites your passion, and then turns out to be universally reviled. You’ll catch up quick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fixed it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like putting ketchup on a hamburger! If the chef wanted you to have ketchup, he would have put it on their himself. You’re spitting in his face by making changes to accommodate your personal preferences. One size fits all!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fixed it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re so clever. This post is a much bigger accomplishment than adding optional features to hardware. Bravo! Encore!

  Do GMOs next. Point out that cultivating traits in bio organics is simply “slop food.” That’ll make them think twice!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And as everyone knows, you MUST enjoy something EXACTLY as the creator intended. That’s why when you go to restaurants you’re not allowed to ask for substitutions. Your preferences don’t matter in the slightest, because you risk offending the chef.
