If you're even somewhat keeping up with what's new in the gaming world, than I'm sure you've seen NVIDIA's new DLSS 5 tech — and how its getting absolutely roasted online. Indeed, the latest iteration of the firm's Super Resolution software hasn't been received well at all, with the way it uses generative AI to transform scenes with simulated photorealistic lighting being called uncanny "AI slop" all over social media.
I think DLSS 5's effects actually look good in environment shots, though in some of the comparisons we've been able to see, I do believe it goes too far and starts to infringe on the intended look of a scene. In shots with characters, though, it straight up makes them look like they got hit with a "yassification" filter you'd find in a smartphone app. The before and afters shocked the community, and even shocked the developers that agreed to let NVIDIA present DLSS 5 using their games.
