You know why.

BBS or nothing.

Pandora’s Box was opened just before the worst administration to open it under.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a Minecraft texture pack for that.

That’s actually a good point. Nothing I’ve read seems to suggest this is getting rid of texture artists, but it could be a problem in the future. They claim it only alter lighting and materials, so for the moment I’ll take their word for it, but it does make you wonder just how much generative AI is involved.

I naturally assume there’s a distinct lack of humanity and a willingness to act like a psychopath with them.

If it was generating completely new images, I would agree. Worst I can do is criticize the things that are wrong with the filter.

You never go full ChatGPT.

I mean, if this is the way the average CEO is handling ChatGPT, a lot of things start to make sense.

It does not generate a new image, thus generates no AI slop in my book. It is an image filter with AI, which is what DLSS already was. Although Jensen does call it generative AI,

• It takes color and motion vectors and passes it as input through AI - same as previous versions of AI.

• It generates no new shapes or geometry.

• It just applies changes to lighting and materials, basically creating a mask over the original.

Valid criticism for me is:

• NVIDIA is an abusive monopoly fueling international cartels partly responsible for the exaggerated PC prices.

• Requires high end GPUs, meaning giving said monopoly more money.

• In actual gameplay, motion when the character talks creates this uncanny valley effect.

But …

I actually thinks it makes still images look better. /hides
