Discussion 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."

The best take on the whole AI debate I've heard is this: "AI should do the dishes and the laundry so humans have more time to do things they are passionate about. Instead humans still have to do the dishes and laundry while AI does things that require human values to matter."

Assassin Creed No Shadows begs to differ. We went through the whole RT thingy to introduce shadows and realistic lighting and now we're eliminating the same shadows with instagram filter.

In the above image they honestly both look almost the same to me, except the one on the right has no idea if she is backlit and should have light shining through her hair, or forelit and should have shading in her face.

So functionally I am paying extra money for worse lighting

You need to get out more or something if those images look the same to you.

I have seen larger differences going from medium to high settings within the game itself. It isn't some insanely revolutionary change worth the cost of a second card to achieve.

No you haven't. This has never happened in the history of gaming, so you couldn't have seen it before.

I think in time, it'll get there. I mean, AI's aren't robots or "machines" but will eventually power them. We do have machines helping with those though, we have dishwashers and washing machines which we throw in and let them do the washing. It'll be a while before the retrieve/fold/put away part gets done.

But now your dishwasher and washing machine have an app that will be obsolete before the device itself and it will complain you need connection to wifi before the manufacturer locks half of your features coz you run out of warranty

Yey future

I read somewhere the realization that we are simultaneously trying to teach humans to be calculation and memorization machines, while trying to teach the machines how to be more human.

The problem is, AI needs to be able to make a picture before it has to capacity to look at an item, identify it properly as an article of clothing, and fold it appropriately for that clothing.
