I haven’t regretted ignoring that nvidia even exists when I’m in the market for a new GPU.
I switched to linux and suddenly my gpu doesn’t work, guess they dont want me as a customer 🤷
Honestly the amd 6000 and 7000 ones are pretty legit
As if nvidia and nvidia’s shareholders considers gamers to be customers in 2026.
This is slopvidias blizzard moment “dont you dumbfuck wage cattle own phones”
I feel like some words may have been added to that “quote” over time
the additions make it sound more appropriate to how they see us
You can just not ship DLSS 5 in your game…
I don’t see any need to boycott this, especially not as gamers, as you can just disable DLSS 5 if you don’t like it.
I interpret this statement from New Blood boss as fear that their games without DLSS 5 won’t compete well against those with it available.
I don’t share this fear, as there was often new technology to art stuff more easy, like digital art, electronic music, digital cameras, higher resolutions etc.
It always made the traditional art style more valuable not less, as people are motivated to pay a premium for “authentic” art.So my conclusion: Art that is targeted at mainstream / big quantity / fast release cycles has benefit in AI and has to use it to stay competitive, but in the other hand mainstream art has always been live-less / unhuman anyway, so I am not very sad about this.
“Real” Art that is done by Artists for themselves not made to be like by as many people as possible will grow in value and maybe even get more popular again as people may get fed up from re-iterating art that works (e.g. pop songs)Why would I pay for something and then disable it?
Also you have the most Dunning Kruger take on art I’ve ever seen.Yeah, you didn’t seem them all bitching when physics engines and game engines started doing all the stuff like lighting, shading, animation, etc.
You know, all the stuff that took an ‘artist’ and the special artist talents to create and look good and be all ‘artisty’
But now there’s similar tools for creating good looking characters they are all of a sudden up in arms?
AI won’t replace well made games or art direction…
It just stops the gatekeeping, and allows more people a chance to make a good narratives, interesting worlds, or complex game-play.
This isn’t a tool to make good looking characters. You need the character art to start with, then this just applies a samey-aesthetic filter over the top of it which rerenders the whole scene from scratch, removing all the artistic intent behind everything visible.
Those graphical lightning tools actually helped artists create a more immersive image, with light balancing more like it was expected to instead of painted on static shadows of old.
This ai filter shit ignores light sources, purposely highlighted points of interest, and whatever else was painstakingly worked on.
And as for not gatekeeping… Just running this requires a second graphics card, at a time when people can’t afford/find one… Because of AI slop centers
This isn’t a tool to make good looking characters. You need the character art to start with
No, you literally don’t.
If character looks isn’t a concern (like random generic NPC’s in an RPG walking the street), you don’t need anything… just a blank face and let the AI fill it in with anything.
How many times do you see the SAME person in something like Cyberpunk?
This solves this, without the need for an artist to create 1000 different faces.
Yes, that is a thing I said.
Do you actually believe that DLSS 5’s graphics are good looking? Lighting is completely lost as every character has three point lighting applied to them. Same with surfaces, original lighting is just gone.
Every character looks like they have a pound of makeup on their face. Details get muddled or lost entirely, replaced with what the model decides it should look like instead of the artist’s original intent.
Not to mention hallucinations and other inaccuracies. DLSS 5 uses a 2D frame for its filters. Depth and context are lost entirely as it physically cannot keep track of those things. In images with small, repeated patterns (such as a net), the model completely eats shit and doesn’t know what to do. All on top of ridiculous hardware requirements to even pull it off in the first place.
This is not the future. This is not giving people tools to make better games.
yeah well, all you naysayers said the same when DLSS 1.0 came out…
Whatabout
Because I still value human artistry and AI is not going to change that.
Such a thing said by a game studio that can very well decide to not use it, feels like wanting to ride the wave of backlash.
Keep your artistic integrity, that I believe will become a very big selling point sooner or later.
As for players, I seriously doubt many could afford two 5090s just to run that crap, probably not even one if the AI bubble doesn’t burst soon so prices can go back to normal.
I don’t know, I don’t detect bandwagoning from their statements. They sound like real, genuine hatred.
Speaking to PC Gamer in comments the pair have since posted in full to social media Oshry and Dusk developer David Szymanski argued that DLSS 5 isn’t just an optional trick folks can ignore, but something that should actively resisted.
“Please tell me what generative AI has anything to do with Deep Learning Super Sampling - which is what DLSS actually stands for in case anyone forgot,” Oshry said. “They’re hiding this Gen AI bullshit behind the DLSS moniker because they think we’re stupid…They know if they called it something like ‘Nvidia Generative Upscaling’ the public backlash would be immediate and intense.”
In the developer’s eyes, DLSS 5 amounts to “fundamentally changing the way video games look based on artificial intelligence that’s been trained on Instagram models and Epstein memes”, leading him to question the point of making game art in the first place.
If I saw these comments on a Lemmy post, it would fit right at home.
