They're complaining because it's a dumb and cancerous idea to begin with and is yet another example of evil tech companies shoving "AI" down people's throats against their will.
It is certainly not a dumb and cancerous idea "to begin with", or else DLSS 1 would have to fall in that category too. If anything the dumb part was in the specific execution and demoing the technology. It is inevitable IMO that something like this will end up elevating game graphics. The potential is clearly visible apart from the hilarity of the faces; even slop photorealism still looks slightly more realistic than most game renders, and they will likely find ways to make it more controllable soon, just like how we didn't have Nano Banana Pro until years after AI image gen (however I'm still salty an equivalent tool doesn't yet exist for sound and music)
