DLSS 5 Sparks Controversy as Nvidia Pushes AI-Generated Faces in Games
Nvidia unveiled DLSS 5 at GTC, a new AI upscaling system that uses generative AI to add photorealistic facial detail and lighting in games. The demo drew significant backlash from players who found the results uncanny or off-putting and from developers worried about artist intent and a one-size-fits-all approach. The technology can be toggled on or off, but Nvidia argues it could become the default in a few years, raising questions about artistic control and realism in gaming.
