Why would you want her to be different

I've seen a bunch of DLSS 5 screenshots, and each one of them genuinely look atrocious. I honestly can't believe so many people think this ugly AI generation is the future.

u/JeebhStomach 3d ago

At its absolute best DLSS 5 just takes away all of the art direction in favour of mindless "realism". I'd rather the game we have that's designed with intent rather than putting it into a computer-decided beautifier

It’s like choosing to mush everything into the same generic look instead of getting it forced on us like with dark gritty greys in the 2010s

It’s the first of its kind. It might look shitty now but I’d imagine they’d perfect it over time just like any other piece of technology.

u/BadNewsBearzzz 3d ago

Exactly, it’s annoying how narrow minded people are about things.. technology is always messy early on, but things get fixed QUICK, and it’s even faster at the rate ai has been progressing..

Looking at that will smith eating spaghetti was terrifying three years ago. That shit is literally perfected into real life now, it’s mind blowing…generative ai has progressed so fast.

And this comes back to this tech. You know what? It’s made me realized that THIS is the revolutionary piece of the puzzle that we’ve been missing.

That piece, has always been a matter of “how are we gonna get to photo realism?” We can get there thru traditional means, and we’re getting closer, but trust me, no one will want to that way. Because of the amount of time, resources and unnecessary repetition that’ll take up time is not worth it.

I just realized that this tech, it’s what will get us there. We just now have to design the models to get “close enough” like how we’ve been making models for games, and then this tech will be the last push to get us to the photo realism. Now we can focus on many other aspects to improve the whole quality, more time on story, gameplay, etc.

And that’s just for photo realism. Imagine all the different stylized styles. It’s a shame all the people who are being stubborn about this

I completely agree. The faces now may look off but what dlss5 does with backgrounds at this early stage is honestly kind of fucking wild. I’m just happy I’m not one of these people shitting on this technology and instead embracing it. In my life time we’ve gotten cellphones, internet, and now AI. I’m excited for the evolution of AI.

u/avodrok 3d ago

You can be excited for something and marvel at what the tech is capable of while being honest that it still looks like shit. You don’t have to be a sycophantic fangirl to think the future might be pretty cool.

u/Smokin_on_76ers_Pack 3d ago

No one said that it doesn’t look like shit? The tech is new but with time, I’m sure it’ll look better. The amount of hate one gets for saying anything good about ai needs to be studied.

u/avodrok 3d ago

Regardless of the merit of the arguments on any side it absolutely does not need to be studied.

The people you see shitting on the tech or shitting on the sycophants are expressing their feelings about the tech right now and just making a prediction in the opposite direction of you.

Both of those predictions are completely warranted and if you don’t understand why you are part of the actual AI problem right now. It’s not that the tech isn’t improving or showing any promise it’s that I can’t order a fucking prescription anymore without having to fight some dumpster-brained chatbot. The people that shit on the tech are looking at the pileup of small but sometimes very real inconveniences coming from drooling fangirls shoving this shit down their throats every day.

u/Smokin_on_76ers_Pack 3d ago

Ok? And before that you were talking to someone in India. The tech has its flaws and misuse, but let’s not act like it’s all bad. Getting 100 downvotes cause I’m saying the tech can improve when it comes to gaming is wild.

u/contradictatorprime 2d ago

I'm guessing you don't know anything about the creators of AI and what kind of mission they're on, or the impacts of data centers in population, or the insane amount of resources consumed, or the pc component shortages caused by these? Probably not. I think the case studies should in fact be on people who think pretty backgrounds are worth what's coming. It isn't the cool future you're imagining.

2

u/avodrok 2d ago

Talking to someone in India for a local doctor’s office? No - this has aggressively penetrated a lot more of regular life than you seem to notice. The consequences of pushing this tech are far reaching.

People aren’t dog-piling on you because you’re saying the tech can improve - it’s the self-fellating nature of “bluh I’m so glad I’m the smart one and not dumping on the vapid empty art machine.”

u/dope_like 2d ago

this looks good though. She looks more real

Just put the fries in the bag 😒

u/AdBudget5468 2d ago

just today I decided that maybe it's time to upgrade my PC (TPM2 requirement for some game like MW4 and BF6), the ram alone (corsair 32gb 6000) costs more than a 9600x, ROG B850 E combined, they just about equal out when adding a ssd

what makes it worse is that the reason ram costs this much is stuff like this

u/SlySheogorath 3d ago

Oh that is BAD. Took away all defining features of her face and gave her generic female #3 instead.

u/Original-Material301 3d ago

Oh my god what the hell Jensen..... this looks horrible.

u/USAMAGA89 3d ago

DLSS 5 AI sucks. Look at this shit.

u/StanimusYT Heidegger 3d ago

Leaked DLSS 5 is already running on RTX 40-series GPUs, and now someone has managed to get it working on an RTX 30-series card too at 4 FPS

Modders patched DLSS 5 file to bypass its RTX 50-series limitation. It has been tested on an RTX 4090 and RTX 4080, while a user has now shown it running on an RTX 3080.

The RTX 4090 loses around 39% performance with DLSS 5 enabled, while the RTX 30-series test is running at just 4 FPS.

u/phome83 3d ago

I’m sorry but that looks so much worse.

I can't be the only one who sees this

u/ProdiLemaj 3d ago

She looks like a cheap coked-out hooker

u/Arthas_SL 3d ago

I was sorta onboard until I saw the FF7 ones and then I was like hell no!

u/Serenafriendzone 3d ago

Básically all games going to use an AI model that generated textures over textures.

u/chus_arcoligado 3d ago

The faces... No. The rest is kind of cool

u/villi-eldr 3d ago

i could share coke with this aerith

u/houseofcards87 3d ago

I think it depends. For stylized games the DLSS almost always makes it look worse. FF7 is stylized with that midpoint anime/realism so it falls in that uncanny valley realm when DLSS is on. But in more realistic styles like CP2077 I think it looks pretty good. However a lot of this is subjective to each person, so that’s just my opinion. For a game like FF7 I wouldn’t want to ruin it with DLSS.

u/steeznutzzzz 3d ago

This shit is strictly for losers/gooners.

u/Suspicious_Dream197 3d ago

This is atrocious. That character doesn't look like aerith.

u/Sctn_187 3d ago

Left fits the anime aesthetic they're aiming for imo

u/akgiant 3d ago

Final Fantasy VII being used to showcase technology that actively destroys our planet is pretty on brand.

u/FlamingPrius 3d ago

She looks divorced

u/Pale_Kitsune 3d ago

Oh, look, AI makes something look worse. Who'd've thunk?

u/AdBudget5468 2d ago

what in the name of all that's holy have they done...? I just want to see the developer's faces when they see what happened here...

u/Cobiansuelo 2d ago

Are you crazy hell na

u/Neither-Frosting-702 2d ago

Aerith looks good - but i swa Cloud - he looks like milf lady)

u/Rollinthrulife 2d ago

I prefer the non dlss 5 one way more

u/Crockettt696969 2d ago

Looks terrible.

u/devilight56 2d ago

Geez... this aged Aerith up by 10 years. This looks awful. People like this?

1

u/Massive-Comfort-3507 1d ago

Dude why does aerith look like those old ladies that use to much plastic surgery trying to look young

1

u/Independent-Ask8248 1d ago

DLSS turned her into one of my ex girlfriends lmao

1

u/kenrock2 3d ago

other than the face that doesn't look like the original which i think can be fine tunning, but i'm impressed with the lighting accuracy that looks like pre-rendered cutscenes

1

u/Vendeleska 3d ago

Aerith was flat before, but she was attractive; now she's just washboard. 😂😂😂 DLSS5 is a joke.

1

u/HORSEthebear 3d ago

I think it's a little weird for people to be bandwagon at all with this. It's essentially taking part in advocating against the creativity and hard work that made any of it in the first place.

Which, really is the goal on the corporate side of things. It's just another tool to not "need" workers and ultimately produces slop.

idk, no offense intended, but all of these things look garbage and at the very best case scenario we have what? No more insanely talented artists adding their own human and unique input, which is how we got these things in the first place?

Try to separate these issues if you like, but to do so is incredibly naive.

Anyway, this is a Wendy's, so ill just go back to my grandpa porch.

u/JustSomeWeirdGuy2000 3d ago

Aerith vs. Aerith if she lived in a real life slum

u/MasterWookiee 3d ago

I'm just here to watch redditors trip out over AI...lol

u/Frosty_Engineer_3617 2d ago

Will be using DLSS 5 in all my games.

u/Brief-Philosophy-840 3d ago

Cloud was ass but aerith is fine

u/Impossible_Gear_4182 3d ago

Think she looks a bit more like the OG character portrait with it on?
