The public’s reaction to Nvidia’s DLSS 5 technology kind of sums up their love-hate relationship cycle with all AI technology in general. People acted like DLSS 5 was going to be the worst thing ever before it was released. After it released and people got to play around with it, they suddenly can’t get enough of it—
video games are now officially photorealistic, and people
can’t stop looking at it. The only actual complaint people have left is the performance cost, which will inevitably be improved.
Everyone acts like AI is so terrible, as if all it can do is slopify everything to hell. But then the technology keeps improving and those same people suddenly can’t imagine living without it.
The release of DLSS 5 will be remembered as a historical cultural milestone, not just for video game graphics, but entertainment culture in general.
