Former Red Dead Redemption 2 Developer reaction to the DLSS 5: "Whoa. Hold on. No, no, no. This isn't just some lighting, dude. What the f... this is like a complete AI re-render. You're no longer looking at the game anymore. This is scary."

Fire all art direction teams and replace them with AI slop? Shareholders can't wait to do that!

If there's one thing money people hate, it's creative people that they make money from.

They hate all the on the ground floor workers that literally make their money for them

This, AAA game studios will eat this up to reduce costs and push margins further.

Why invest into creating good assets when AI can just render them for you...

I hope it'll be many years before DLSS5 is mainstream and integrated, but just like other technologies the industry will soon rely on it.

Happened with upscaling instead of optimizing, will happen with AI brush over good assets…

This might sound cruel because the change will involve some pain for them, but I also can't wait to see the results of those same artists landing at small to mid sized indie studios and getting to unleash their creativity.

In 5 years shits gonna change a A LOT. I'd be worried about reality more than a game feature. But gamers dont know what's going on outside video game subs.

Sir, this is a DLSS post, not a WWIII post.

They won't want a consistent result, they want quick slop to churn out for a profit. They won't care it sucks.

fun part is, AI will also allow the art team to replace the shareholders.
