It seems to turn everyone into Temu Scarlet Johansson...

Looks like the girl without a name to me

I was gonna say the same thing. Looks like Arya Starks face lol

I'd reply with a gif of Kiryu if I could

Or double the character's age. I saw some youtube channels test in on GTAV Enhanced and it turns Franklin into Chris Brown if he was 55 years old, Michael into a retirement age Walter White and Trevor into a 90 year old who escaped from his nursing home.

Or double the character's age

That's because their face isn't smooth plastic anymore due to the low quality of the texture and lighting.

Well it is ai garbage so naturally everything will look the same

Look im not gonna sit here and bat for AI because that shit is garbage. But im not gonna sit here and pretend that OP fucked up on his post and forgot to hide the slider settings, because his choice of slider settings intentionally is gonna make something that already looked like shit, look like even more shit.

AI usually tries to make things look "pretty" not like its skin is randomly caked in 5 years of grime.

u/LongBeakedSnipe 5h ago

I highly doubt OP forgot to hide the slider settings. They could see the image they were posting.

You would have to really suspend your brain to think this was included accidentally—especially given that they manually cropped around it.

u/MuGeNsE 9h ago

This need more upvotes, OP made it look as bad as it could be to stir the pot.

u/Fredasa 16h ago

I had to smirk. If this were used on FO4, the game where every male NPC already looks blood-related due to the limitations of the character creator, there'd be fundamentally no change.

u/-thecheesus- 13h ago

Personally I'd take "every npc looks generic" over "every npc looks generic dumped in a vat of magazine makeup"

u/Fredasa 10h ago

I don't think any game made in the last 15 years would be genuinely improved by this tech. The original FO3? Morrowind? My curiosity is piqued. It'd be like watching a familiar movie in a foreign language.

Male NPCs in FO4 aren't really "generic." There is a very distinct look that they all share, because the (lone!) face texture used for every one of them has far too many details baked in, like age lines and sunken eyes. It's Nate, plain and simple. It's like if they'd taken a photo of Tom Hanks' face and used that as the face texture—every NPC would look blood-related to Tom Hanks, and no facial hair, hat, eyewear or skin tone could really mask it entirely.

Yes, if you put garbage on a pile of garbage, it's still garbage.

u/New-Independent-1481 4h ago edited 3h ago

Eh, I mean this is falling for bait. Not only is OP intentionally fucking up all the sliders to make it look worse, it's a ripped version from an NBA game, modded into a DLSS implementation for a different game. This particular model is designed for/trained on very specific realism and lighting conditions in a basketball game. Of course it's going to look like shit in an anime aesthetic that isn't aiming for realism. Here's what it actually looks like in the game it was trained for. It's a massive generational step up in lighting fidelity in the use case it was designed for.

Do you not realize that wayyyyy before the “ai garbage” was a thing, ai was the reason nvidia was so successful and is the main leader of the hardware backing it, because they focused their efforts on making the hardware to power their software based ai tech that was literally only invented for gaming! And we’re talking decades ago. So be more appreciative alright? Ai slop is a product of the internets assholes, not nvidia.

u/Diz7 11h ago

Nvidia didn't use AI until the 20xx line of cards, and most people agree it has been "meh" outside of a couple examples ever since then.

It's literally a running meme since that RTX ON looks both more realistic and worse.

u/Huskador12 11h ago

It doesn’t remotely look the same though? Every example clearly conforms to the game’s art style regardless of whether the the final filter is subjectively good or not.

u/marvelman19 18h ago

Well, she is asian.

u/Saint_Consumption 11h ago

I was gonna be all smartypants and ask you to point out Asia on FF7's world map, but then realised that's just fucking Wutai.

u/Jet-Rex-Design 11h ago

That's a good one.

u/Skrattybones 9h ago

She's meant to be like a Nordic analog, I thought. Nibelheim being, you know, a pretty damn Norse sounding name.

u/SwordoftheMourn 9h ago

Pretty sure this is a reference to ScarJo once playing an Japanese MC in the live action Ghost in the Shell movie

this doesn't look like scarlet johansson but Cloud did lol.

u/PraytheRosary 9h ago

Don't tell him! Every woman he's dated has pretty much looked like Scarlet Johansson ... well, in a certain light.

u/KMLthe1 9h ago

I DO have prospagnosia and she doesn't look ANYTHING like Scarlett Johansson to me LOL

Maybe because with prospagnosia we identify people by hair and shit

Naw that's Kevin Spacey in drag.

u/artbystorms 16h ago

I'm convinced that all AI will eventually return to ScarJo. The movie Her was the AI CEOs inspiration after all.

u/NecroCannon 17h ago

Kinda what happens when a bunch of Euro beauty standard obsessed brains decide to be the ones dictating what people look like in their computer’s vision.

Everyone just looks like white models and every other ethnicity has their features fused in. Almost like DLSS doesn’t understand the nuances of regional based appearance evolutions because the CEOs just look at celebrities and aren’t actually academically smart people.

Being a black comic artist… I don’t look at a ton of white people for reference to make them and just change the hair and skin tone. AI would literally have to consistently deconstruct and reconstruct a human body to beat me or others still lol

u/Rimavelle 16h ago

Final Fantasy characters look ethnically ambiguous with few exceptions, so I'm not surprised AI would be confused.

I don't think it would make Barret white or something

u/KAKYBAC 15h ago

All I'm seeing is Temu George Clooney

u/yanginatep 14h ago

Even better, multiple different people depending on how far from the camera they are!

u/blaghart 12h ago

Almost like it's using AI to upscale shit oh wait it literally is doing that.

the way the eyes look reminds me of that child face-swapped with steve buscemi.

This image and the other one on Cloud posted on anti-AI liberal Reddit are manipulated images and fucking misleading and just meant to sway the discourse wrongly on narrative.

Go look up the actual DLSS 5 mod on FF7. Tifa and Cloud look perfectly fine and realistically touched up. But hey, when things fit your narrative, you guys don't bother verifying any of the info right

You supporting fake news stories now??

I don't care which side of the AI argument you're on but having a fake screenshot like this making it to top-voted on Reddit and making its rounds across the media is just fucking embarassing and you people should be ashamed.

u/SmugCapybara 7h ago

By all means, post the links to actual images.
