Use AI to do cool stuff instead of trying to automate the soul out of artwork.
I also work in tech btw.
Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game

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.

DLSS can’t imagine. It definitely can’t reimagine.
And I think it’s an affront to art in any case.

Listen, AI is great when it’s folding proteins or looking for novel solutions to math problems, doing work that can be checked by human minds to make sure the logic of the AI and the logic of the problem are in accordance. It’s universally reviled when it replaces art with garbage. Art is meant to enrich human experience, to help us understand, to help us grow, to be an authentic expression of our inner world. AI has no inner world. It has no experience and no understanding. Perhaps there’s something to the arguments of those who hate it?
Perhaps in this world where so much of real value has already been taken from us we reject this most recent attempt to take away the thing that satisfies one of our most basic needs?

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.
