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.
Makes perfect sense in context.
Nvidia is no longer a gaming company. They do not care about gamers. They are actively DRIVING AWAY gamers as fast as they can, because AI chips are more lucrative than dirty smelly tiny consumer products.
This is meant to show off real-time AI generation performance, which is massively marketable to AI companies. Not consumers. Nothing is about consumers.
Check out this fun little nugget from further down in the article:
Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology.
An entire second GPU just to run it.

Don’t call it DLSS!
Call it AISSS (AI Slop Supersampling)!
ASS
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.
Because it is developed by people whose understanding of “art” is “how closely can it imitate reality” because they lack any creativity
What happened to that woman?
Kidnapped & dessicated for datacenter water.
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
‘Artists have the final say’
They already had the final say.
So it uses up way more hardware and power whilst not improving the part of the game were the fun is: gameplay.
What’s next NVidia, an AI driver that plays the game for you?!
Which is unironically what microslop is doing.
New Worms game looking hype though
The right image looks more realistic. Where exactly is the problem? Do you prefer smooth glossy doll-like models? I’m sure this “filter” will be optional.
bruh it looks like shit lmao
Isn’t DLSS by defintion always an AI slop filter?
Not really, DLSS mostly just reduces the resolution of a game and then upscales it back up. It does a pretty good job of making the game still look (almost) exactly the same. This, however, completely changes what you’re looking at.
DLSS is short for Deep Learning Super Sampling, it does the upscaling using deep learning, what people also call AI. The upscaler has to be trained on images. Depending on how you train it you either get something that looks almost exactly the same as the game at a higher resolution or you get AI slop.
deep learning isn’t really the same thing as a large language model. People call LLMs AI.
Llms aren’t the only type of ai….
AI isn’t real, I’m just saying what people call AI is pretty much LLMs or anything that does NLP. No one looks at DLSS and says ‘thats ai’
“Science fiction AI” isn’t real. AI is most definitely a thing. From the Oxford dictionary:
artificial intelligence = the study and development of computer systems that can copy intelligent human behaviour
By definition, a chess program is AI.
pretty irrelevant to my point, honestly
I’m aware of how it works, but the results aren’t bad. Worst case scenario is you get some ghosting with DLSS, but it’s far from what I’d call AI slop.
But it literally follows the same process. Why is one slop, but not the other? You’re being hypocrital.
