Very premature reactions from many people on YouTube etc and here. Learn more about the technology, and give DF some credit for the fact they have actually seen this running. Remember also that developers always have to compromise their artistic vision when they ship even their own stuff. I want to hear more about the level of control developers have. Reading a write up by 'Ryan Shrout' (former intel i think) was interesting in this regard.
People also should realise this was coming. and it will get better and better, it also benefits from high quality inputs. Developers will learn to merge their authored inputs and then tune the neural part. Also people saying that it's goin to be inconsistent frame to frame.. seriously? Do you think they would announce this if that was not a hurdle they have obviously overcome? None of you can judge this until you see how game devs use it, and crucially have used it yourself.
There is a huge herd mentality around 'AI slop' on the internet, and it's like it's also turned people's critical thinking into 'slop' too. But I do agree, the one shot I thought was not as great was the shot of grace (the first shot, the other one looked amazing) but really look at it, the geometry is not changed, it really is the shading and lighting, and also try to imagine what grace as she looks in that shot would actually look like in reality. Many games do have very attractive and idealised characters, grace has a very symmetrical face with unblemished skin mostly, and many female lead characters in games, surprise surprise.. are models in real life. Anyway, I went and looked at many other comparison shots and I thought dlss 5 looked better. If devs can truly tune it and mask elements, then you could have glorious looking environments, and subtlety improved looking characters, where they get that last few % dialled in via dlss 5.
Strap in Digital Foundry, because I think your going to be in for a bumpy ride... Disgruntled gamers are one of the most exasperating groups on the internet.

@NetshadeX ha yeah good analogy.
