I’m completely speechless. This looks so terrible I thought it was a joke, but apparently Nvidia released these demos to impress people. DLSS 5 runs the entire game through an AI filter, making every character look like it’s running through an ultra realistic beauty filter.
The photo above is used as the promo image for the official blog post by the way. It completely ignores artistic intent and makes Grace’s face look “sexier” because apparently that’s what realism looks like now.
I wouldn’t be so baffled if this was some experimental setting they were testing, but they’re advertising this as the next gen DLSS. As in, this is their image of what the future of gaming should be. A massive F U to every artist in the industry. Well done, Nvidia.

techno-fascists are incapable of making decent art, hence why they love this shit. They don’t care about Grace as a character or what her design can tell us about her, she needs to be “upgraded” to look like the most generic model ever because they don’t care to actually understand anything about the characters or story or fucking anything at all
Yeah no at this point nuke the whole fucking company.
Someone reported your comment.
that’s glorification of violence and then there’s nuclear options…
You don’t have a pocket nuke, do you?
Last I checked I’m not the president lmao
We can’t play games unless we play exactly as the developers intended (constant bug fixes, online requirement, anticheat etc. for non competitive games), but Nvidia can ensure games are portrayed differently, entirely shoving a middle finger in artists’ faces? And you raise a valid point –
AI is trained on what, exactly, because AI filters always enhance facial definition, add makeup like shadow, blush and lipstick, and full body upscaling adds flat stomachs with abs, perfectly symmetrical D cup breasts, in this case blonde highlights are apparently more appealing than the original… It all stinks of the generic 2010’s Western white heterosexual man’s idea of the perfect woman’s body. It’s like every beauty filter is made by Jack Black’s character from Shallow Hal.
Yeah, there’s a bias in these image generator AIs, because model photographs are:
- easy to get in bulk and in relatively high resolution etc.,
- relatively uniform (even lighting, facial symmetry etc.), meaning they reinforce existing patterns in the training data, and
- relatively easy to generate good-looking results with them, for obvious reasons, so more likely to be optimized towards by anyone involved in the training.
It also seems to change the lighting on faces as if they are lit by a studio ring light.
Also in their #1 demo image it changes the girls hair so it’s brown hair bleached leaving a highlight pattern instead of 100% white.
LOL The right image looks so haggard, hints at the potential training on NSFW material those certain features being changed on Grace’s model, particularly the emphasis on her lips, hair, and gaunter features. I actually prefer the left, as it seems more in the confines of the game’s original portrayal of Grace; the game’s background looks better in the left image vs the right image which seems cartoonish in nature. Yikes, NVIDIA is making a big argument for me to fully convert to AMD (which has better open drivers). Realism is fine and all, if that was the original intent of the game’s designers.
Close one, I almost just downloaded a mod instead of burning money.
“This does not just apply to high end graphics. We’re already seeing that a little bit with Starfield, which is a more primitive title” lmaoooo
Bethesda should be offended that their flagship product that runs on their archaic engine was just roasted like this
Todd is too busy swimming in his vault Scrooge McDuck style.
So absolutely nothing new? DLSS has always been slop.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil…I think the right picture looks better.
That’s the valley you walk trough blind.
I’ve since seen videos and a screen shot of Arthur Morgan. This is terrible.
I’m an atheist now.
Insanely impressive that it’s able to do that in real time.
My phone can apply facial filters for years in realtime.
Don’t call it DLSS!
Call it AISSS (AI Slop Supersampling)!
AiSS: Arbitrarily Interfering Super Slop
ASS
Aaaaaaaaasssssss!
What they were thinking?
ASS SLOP?
slop
it just seems to be fucking the lighting up while also slopifying beauty stereotypes onto women making them look homogenized and not like the artists want (not even just adding detail, it changed hair from blond to bleached brown and changed face bone shape)
who actually even wants this, like, actually wants to use it??
As we already know, this is the south park timeline, so DLSS 6 (or a later one like 7 or 8) will most likely have undressing functionality.
AMD should thank Nvidia for giving them customers (i’ve never actually used, and never will use, an Nvidia GPU, i have intel integrated gpu + amd gpu rn (but this pc is pretty old), previously i used a Mac. hopefully ill be able to get a new thing with a good AMD GPU)
It feels like homogenization of art. The filter pays no attention to the original art style and just conforms it to nividias Ai style.
The devs can literally control the vectors used. They can even mask it to not apply to some things. Not sure how it calculates lighting though.
Is the DLSS AI slop going to lead to homogenization of game aesthetics? That’s really fucking lame.
I don’t want to hate on it, but at the same time why is everything AI just hyper-realistic uncanny valley perfectionism BS?
I know people harp on AI for stealing art, but honestly whose art are they stealing? Because its really bad. If we’re going to live in a dystopia can they at least steal art of people who are good at it.
It all started with the LAION “pretty images” dataset (I don’t remember exactly what it was called). This style was pervasive in that dataset, and to be fair to the curators, it did look good at the time. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the art style. It’s just that it’s now become so overused, and always with slop, so we associate the style with slop.
Because it is developed by people whose understanding of “art” is “how closely can it imitate reality” because they lack any creativity
This looks so bad, like uncanny 3d porn bad.
Yup. You will soon pay premium for checks notes actual footage of people enjoying fucking?!
