    Too late, the anti-AI fanatics hate it, and won’t listen to anything except people who agree with them.

    If you don’t like the demo, or don’t like eventual game screenshots, just don’t buy the games that use it (or don’t enable it). It’s a tool and it’s up to developers to use it in a way that makes the game look good - or to fail at doing so.

      just don’t buy the games that use it

      This is called the “Free Market Fallacy”, and is always a terrible defence of any shitty practice, whether it be games or vehicles or banks or HOAs. The market just isn’t liquid or efficient enough for that to be a reasonable position.

        The market for video games is pretty efficient. It doesn’t apply to necessities, or services with natural monopolies, but Nvidia has competition not just from AMD but also its own old tech, and games arent necessities.

        But really this isn’t about the market: you have a choice of whether to buy and play games you find ugly or not.

          are you a bot? I ask because that response was grammatically completely coherent and intelligent-sounding, but the entire content bore no relation to reality. I mean there’s not even anything to argue with, it was just straight up 100% wrong.

            But they’re not wrong. Video games are a luxury and you can just decide to not buy games that have features you don’t want.

            The only way to make the companies change is to vote with your wallet. Just look at the Kimmel fiasco. It only took Disney losing like 1% of their subscriptions to change course.

            Would a bot tell you to stick your smarmy non-reply up your arse?

            If you disagree, you can just write what you disagree with.

      If this was a opensource dev making some filter for games it would neat. Like Big Naturals Withers. But this is like if Gamesworkshop said if ypu want to play a game based our IP you have parade out big naturals withers at least once an hour of gameplay.

      Nvidia litterally does that kind of shit all the time, and they are in an even more insanly dominate position then ever.

      You miss the point. Nvidia will pressure future titles to need DLSS5, which means you will need a $3000 GPU. Huang is literally celebrating shortages of chips.

        Oh no, whatever will we do?

        Looks at massive library of unplayed indie games

        I somehow don’t think nVIDIA is going to be able to pressure all the indie studies into requiring it, do you? Even big studios generally want to be able to run on hardware 2+ generations old, so it won’t be a requirement for ages, if it ever is. Therefore: save your hate for actual games that actually look shit.

      The demo made Indiana Jones into Iowa Jack. Why would anyone think it’s cool to completely remove the soul of your favorite games?

      The market for ultra- realistic graphics in video games is shrinking every year. People want smooth graphics and clean mechanics
