Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design - IGN

I play games to experience a crafted piece of artistry. DLSS 5 offers none of this, instead replacing the paintbrush held in a human hand with an AI slopping a big vat of oil over the canvas. What are we doing here?

It’s not an ‘LLM’ (large language model). 🤦

I try to avoid the overhyped and wrongly used term AI, so what’s the proper term? Related to diffusion models? Something different?

Generative AI is a decent catch-all that I think would apply to this.

Another good option is “machine learning” or ML, but that’s fallen out of favor cause it doesn’t sound as impressive as AI. But really it’s teaching a machine to do a specific task. It’s not intelligent, it’s just that we don’t understand how it learns.

Neural network would be the most technically accurate given what they’ve announced so far.

There’s no information on if it’s a diffusion or transformer architecture. Though given DLSS 4.5 introduced a transformer for lighting, my guess would be that it’s the same thing just being more widely applied. But the technical details haven’t been released from anything I’ve seen, so for the time being it’s being described as “neural rendering” using an unspecified neural network.

Saw somewhere a mention of it doing only 1 pass. Stable diffusion takes 30-100+ passes, so this sounds like fast inpainting rather than actual generation
