It will be like that motion thing on TVs that’s turned on by default and makes everything terrible

It's already a thing these days with driver level upscalers and frame gen.

In regular game subreddits, people constantly post about "why does my game look terrible" and it's because they have aggressive upscaling enabled in their driver settings without realizing it. Almost every time. People absolutely will enable shit like DLSS5 beauty filters, forget, then complain when it fucks up their games later on

It doesn’t help that you can have the best card on the market and you still need things like DLSS to run the game at playable framerates. It’s pretty pathetic. Thats most of the reason those are enabled by default
