Nvidia’s unveiling of its new graphics tech DLSS 5 promptly sparked a mix of excitement and ridicule this week. Nvidia sees the upcoming version of its Deep Learning Super Sampling technology as a game-changing moment for graphics, using generative AI to add lighting detail, materials and other visual touches to enhance frames in real time.
However, some see the tech as a generator of generic AI slop that will take game art out of the hands of developers. Nvidia's demo showed DLSS 5 ‘improve’ Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem and Bethesda’s Starfield. But while Bethesda stresses that its artists will remain in control, Capcom seems to have known nothing about it.
