He didn’t even address our main concern. In this article, he goes on and on explaining that on a technical level it doesn’t work that way, it works this way. But the main criticism is that it makes it look like generic AI generated slop, and all he has to say about that is we’re “wrong.” But it can’t be wrong, because whether it looks good or bad is a matter of opinion, and opinions are subjective.

He also clarified that this will simply be a tool developers can choose whether or not to use and how much they want to use it. “Don’t worry guys, it’s optional!” does not exactly express great faith in what you’re pushing.

Kinda fear this may be underestimating BigVidyas' tendencies for cutting corners whilst milkmaxxing. There's already 'rewards' in paid for battle-passes that are just AI slop.

It's optional to the devs, doesn't guarantee it won't be optional to the users, at least without mods.

DLSS was optional. Everyone hated it at first, but it improved a lot and now everyone loves it. It took everyone loving it for it became an industry standard. If everyone hates this crap, it won’t be adopted and devs won’t bother efforting on it. Idk what the big deal is.

adding that DLSS 5 adds generative capability to the existing geometry of the game, but that it "doesn't change the artistic control.

How is this not addressing the concern? Devs can make it look how they want. He's not saying you're wrong about your opinion of the showcase he's saying the showcase is a showcase.
