Do we want more AI? Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony brings us a story of AI and gaming. Daily News Stuff 17 March 2026: Not Even We Know What DLSS Stands For Edition
Gamers, already upset with Microslop over AI in Windows, are now upset with NVIDIA, which I didn't think was possible.
Nvidia held its keynote address at its annual GPU Technology Conference, where it showed off a preview of its new DLSS 5 software, two months after DLSS 4.5 was released at CES. (Tom's Hardware)
DLSS 5 goes all-in on AI, changing game graphics into the AI developer's idea of game graphics. It's... Not great.
It uses face detection to overlay what it things faces should look like on your game's graphics, adding twenty years to the age of characters while leaving their clothes untouched and sometimes leaving random items looking like they've just been dragged backwards through an industrial recycling facility.
And it achieves all this in real time using the power of your own graphics card... Assuming you have dual RTX 5090s, which you don't.
The memes have been brutal - because it takes decisions away from the game developers and gives it to the AI, and so it makes decisions on what the AI (and the developer) thinks is best.
