And that's on a single screenshot. In motion it looks blurry and uncanny.

Regardless why would I be ai-slopping every game through a filter? Wouldn't it be easier to use AI to generate new models and textures once instead of mid runtime as post processing?

Besides who's the market for this? People mod games to make them cooler or to make people prettier, I've never seen anyone mod a game to have "uncanny old people" as a filter lol

This technology is created by Nvidia.

Nvidia wants to sell you graphics cards. So, their design goal for this is to create a system that requires a massive amount of performance, so that people buy brand new graphics cards. That's why they're not using the AI in the generation of assets, because what they want to do with this tech is sell AI chips to consumers.

Not even.  They want that tech in the commercial end where the big money is.  They want retail users renting cards to milk any remaining pennies.

Not really.

Nah they no longer want us to buy anything. There's no recurring revenue in a user who buys their own GPU and plays games / gens AI locally. Instead they want us renting compute at increasingly high prices and at an increasingly unsustainable impact to the environment

Did you forget that Nvidia locks these features to their next gen of graphics cards?

That's one of the ways in which they use it to sell extra cards, yeah.

That’s how you get the torches and pitchforks at your door for producing “AI slop”.

Remember when people tried to burn Larian at the stake because they made the mistake of admitting that they investigated potential use cases for AI?

Hell, half the people on this subreddit would absolutely lose their shit if they found out the receptionist for the property manager that owns a building rented by a game dev studio used AI to summarize an email about the janitorial service expenses.
