Even if it looked good, it has zero context of the original artists’ intent. This is like having AI summarize pages of a book as you read. You’re now locked a layer away from the original artist’s work and it’s a layer controlled by corpos. No thank you.

Now every frame can consume gigajules of energy.

This is exactly the opposite of what I want a graphics card doing in the background. Just leave the games the way the developers made them, for fucks sake. If they suck, they suck...if they don't, they don't. But this just makes them all suck.

Looks horrid.

This will be the new motion plus shit that ruined all TV. Now, the kids think it IS good.

I can't express how much I hate motion plus and the fact that YOU CANT TURN IT OFF on a lot of TVs.

Much like severely compressed limited music. People today hear a dynamic song and dont like it because its too peaky or hurts their ears. They want a sausage waveform.

I'm not old, and I'm already yelling at clouds, ha. Just can't stand these corpos brainwashing people into thinking their shit is good. Its not.

Going to go with 0% consistency and characters flipping between multiple faces

Players: all we want is consistent frame rates and affordable pricing

Nvidia: best I can offer is uncanny valley filter. That’ll cost you double.

it's an unwoke/untumblrisation filter, right here on your graphics card.

This shit would excite certain people, if 90% of the population could afford to buy graphics cards anymore.

Almost makes me wish I hadn’t already switched to Team Red, so that I could switch to Team Red due to how comically bullshit this is (on top of their recent vibe coded driver releases)

Two 5090s for this shit lol. The first 5090 calculates all the shadows and then the second 5090 takes it back out again lmao. What a fucking joke.

I don't understand why anyone paying attention is giving nvidia any money at this point. It is abundantly clear they don't give any fucks about the consumer GPU customer. They will charge you $1000 to sell you to OpenAI as soon as that baffling sentence somehow becomes possible.

Sloppyfilter 9000™ X-tream

Only on Nvidia

Would you say the same thing if you didn't know that it was AI? I think it actually looks pretty good overall, although some of the changes (like deciding that this character dyes her hair had has undyed roots) are odd.

Edit: It seems to do a better job with the soccer player.

Edit 2: I wonder if it works better with male faces than with female ones. It's making the woman's eyes and lips bigger but not the man's.

To be fair though, this is the kind of AI enhancement that could be an actual enhancement.

Most AI solutions are a race to the bottom strategy. They claim to reduce a little of the quality of the product and also massively reducing cost (where in reality it’s a massive reduction in quality and costs a decent bit).

This is what I imagined the AI revolution would look like 10 years ago, having AI enhance the product on top of the same level of quality as before, not really trying to get rid of the artists and developers.

Having said all that, the faces looked kind of creepy…

Stuff Id expect and maybe even interested in from a small indie open source dev and absolutely glad their being shit on for doing as one the world's richest and scummiest companies for doing

This seems like it’s intended as a texture and lighting improver, not an “AI Slopificator”

Among the other screenshots, a lot of them seem to have a marked improvement.

Aspects of that Grace image comparison definitely look bad, but this is a work in progress that we’re getting a glimpse into. I really hope that bimbofication doesn’t make it into the final product.

Nice (/s)

It seems like it's just making it more realistic rather then "beautifying" her. The original picture doesn't have any flaws or blemishes or anything to indicate that the modelers wanted for her to be anything but attractive. If anything the other one gives more detail to the skin and makes it look real rather than ultra smooth clay.

I wouldn't have called this generative AI, but Jensen did. Great for stills, uncanny valley for motions. People are claiming it generates completely new images, but in this instance it keeps the same geometry and texture and just processes motion and color vectors to create a hyper-rendered version of the characters.

Ignoring the obvious problems of the hardware it requires and supporting the AI bubble feeding monopoly that is NVIDIA, it is interesting technology that doesn't actually seem to act as a medium for IP theft, my beef with what I call AI slop. It might only be practically good for photo mode in games, but it will be interesting to see how it works out. It could kickstart interest in making Let's Play in a more Machinima style.

Well there is an off toggle.
