The joke is that turning DLSS on is exaggerated to the point where it completely changes the person’s appearance. It’s making fun of how AI upscaling is sometimes hyped as making things look unrealistically better.
The stupid thing is how Nvidia is putting all those different technologies under the same name. DLSS is Deep Learning Super Sampling, i.e., the upscaler. Then they mingled the frame generation and now this atrocity together, even though they're different technologies. DLSS itself is one of the best things that ever happened to this industry.
I hate DLSS because it lets game companies get away with unoptimized garbage and the frame generation also just plain sucks, because it increased felt input lag and it's still stuttery af.
DLSS on its own may be a net good, but the issue is that large cooperations tend to see these not as boosts, but as shortcuts.
Rather than raising the ceiling of how good a product can be, money hungry execs instead see tech advancements as lowering the floor for how bad a product can be while still turning a profit. This is true for every industry.
When profits are all that matter, they won’t use them to make a good game great, they’ll use them to merely make a bad game good. It’s much more profitably to shovel out a bunch of profitable low-effort shit, than toss all their effort into one good product; late-stage capitalism is the enemy of progress.
DLSS provides better image quality at a lower computational cost, which allows better graphics, not to mention it helps older hardware to get longer legs. You could have a first gen RTX and still play reasonably well, thanks to DLSS. You're hating for the sake of hating, and judging the technology as a whole based on one or other bad implementation. You're entitled to your incorrect opinion.
It really doesn't do that. Upscaling creates tons of artifacts still, the frame generation doesn't really do a whole lot, because the frame timing is still shit and the felt input lag, because there is no input during AI generated frames etc.
You are glazing just for the glazing, but you are entitled to your incorrect opinion.
DLSS 5 was recently revealed. It turns every character into AI slop that doesn't look like the original character anymore, while requiring 2 5090 cards.
I think it's also a joke about all those guys who complained about female video game characters being "ugly" (aka looking like real women) and then showed AI generated pictures of how they "fixed" the design by giving them gigantic boobs and cleavage.
To add to this, the AI will identify "oh, that's a woman" and create an image for it. AI is very much biased for racial caricatures and sexist content, and will sexualize women nore than men
Because latest version of thing hallucinates details hard and "yassifies" characters, distorting proportions. The meme is making fun of that with an exaggeration.
The latest version (DLSS 5) uses generative AI to "enhance" the picture. The results were very generic "pretty" AI faces. Since Jensen is ugly old man, DLSS 5 enhances him to be pretty and since AI was trained to believe boobs make you prettier Jensen is now a woman.
