I'm just not a fan of relying on something that was originally designed as an "aid" tool, yet Nvidia know some devs are using that "aid", as an actual crux to their initial game dev, which isn't what the AI was originally intended for. You seee this around multiple industries now, where AI was originally designed to help the user, but now big tech has been stating that it is meant to "replace", make the "pipeline more streamlined", which in turn means layoffs, replacing human input, or reducing the human workload (and we've seen the results that's produced in other industries, it's not good). Also I don't like DLSS, because it still doesn't look as sharp as ever, and frame gen can introduce more latency (especially when using gamepads). If you are using a mid tier card that barely manages 60fps and you turn on frame gen, that frame genned 60fps isn't going to feel as smooth as a real locked 60fps (also more latency lag). I'm also not big on AI being used more than human input, because I'm friends with a group of artists that also share the same view I do, and even explain to me the pitfalls of over reliance on AI for different jobs (like how AI cannot successfully pull off artistic changes that an artist wants to do, or asks a prompter to make multiple corrections for, the AI cannot understand what is being asked). |
DLSS is actually surprisingly good, if you stick with Quality setting - and according to some tests, in higher resolutions are fickle minds can be even fooled as to look better than native. So I'm quite fine with it, but so far I don't like frame generation, since it introduces too much artifacts in my experience.
AI is, for good or worse, here to stay and will probably be the biggest jump in making games since transition from 2D to 3D, in everything from art to NPC interactions. As someone who witnessed professionally first hand what AI can do, it is definitely something that can help a lot, but it does need certain regulations (SAG-AFTRA voice actors are currently on strike for that reason).
I do hope AMD is finally going to do with next lineup of their GPUs what Ryzen did for their CPU department. nVidia has become way too greedy and cocky.
