I’m stupid, doesn’t DLSS and other upscaling tech usually keep the game-generated pixels? So 1/4 pixels is still there going from HD to 4k?
DLSS5 only keeping 1/20 seems to get ridiculous.
Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game

“AI Slop”
I’m curious. How do people think DLSS actually works?

It used to be trained on actual games. Not pictures of women on the internet. And it only filled in the detail lost from low resolution gaming; it didn’t overpower artistic intent

Even so. OP’s post is nonsense. When people talk about misinformation on the internet, this is what they’re talking about.
DLSS 5 is still in the testing phase. Nowhere near commercially available yet. Demos are only supposed to show direction, not the finished result. One cherry picked image is glorified ragebait at best.

I think you misunderstand OP’s point then. The complaint is not just about the result, but also very much about the direction. The fact that, if Nvidia chooses to pursue this, games running on their GPUs may all be visually tampered with in a way that ignores the creator’s intent and the user’s wish. Could you imagine a world where every game looks exactly the same and uses the same fake faces? It would be incredibly dulling and boring, in my opinion.
Not only that, but puts on tinfoil hat this might enable Nvidia to insert their own desired images into games. Ads or propaganda insertion into our escapism is not too far fetched, and given how unprofitable AI is, it would be an easy way to suddenly make it profitable.

That’s a bit far fetched. DLSS couldn’t put ads in game because that’s not how it works. It’s more like a post processor. It can’t generate brand new content.
Plus, if Nvidia did develop that technology, gamers would riot. Not complain. Actually riot. Not to mention it would be a legal nightmare. Modifying copyrighted game content without consent would be a courtroom speedrun.
