If this was:

"under our artists' control, and totally optional for players." - Bethesda

Then Nvidia and Bethesda and whoever involved should've said so from the beginning of the release.

Just like Jordan Gerblick from gamesradar says this is obvious damage control as people are justifyably pissed with onslaught of AI slop

Seriously shut the fuck up and give people what we really want:

• affordable reasonably priced GPUs
• stable drivers
• and keep your AI filth out of our stuff and games🖕

Okay so ethics debate aside.. it just looks bad? If they get this to work in real time, that's technologically impressive, but it literally just looks like a "slop filter".

• Overtuned contrast
• Overuse of back lighting
• Too many shiny and wet surfaces
• And the worst of all: faces get "yassified" to look like entirely different people - looking more like overly-edited supermodel photos than real people

Yes: hair and skin are notoriously difficult to render well in real time.. but if you're running a model like this, you can probably afford to calculate the SSS properly lol

Or idk. Maybe only run the slop filter on skin and hair. RTGI is already pretty much perfect these days if you do it right

will all be under our artists' control

Literally impossible. The entire point of the tech is it is autonomous, that it can "improve" things moment by moment. That is by definition outside of their control. Also, it better be fucking optional because only the 1% are playing games with dual-5090s. These fuckers are so out of touch.

Also,

This is a very early look

Motherfucker, you say this is releasing within the year. How is this "very early"? It should be in the polishing up stages by any reasonable, professional timeline.

Remember that Bethesda is owned by Microsoft who wants to increase adoption of this technology for their own financial gain

Doesn't using this generative Ai filter remove the copyright protections since it was ruled that you can't have copy write on any AI generated content.

FYI @TheObviousSolution@thebrainbin.org has been supporting this in every thread that popped up with misinformation and toxic positivity. Likely a bot or a marketing aide.

Be aware the NV's marketing is all over this, even in Lemmy.

One of the many aliases spamming positivity.

First optional but gets pushed more and more until it's mandatory.

Time to...

It was a matter time for AI slop to came to videogames. But the solution is rather easy, just don't buy those games.

It made a pretty anime girl look like she got 20 years older sucked up and hooked on drugs.

Just like I like them.

This is no different from any tiktok filter. It's slop, If I wanted my characters to look like nazi Noem I'd design them thusly.

Here you go, have some AI slop ... eat it all up! Here comes the airplane, AI Slop flight 575 coming in for a landing .... Vrrrrrrrrmmmm.

Sure todd howard... Sure. 🙄

Well if Bethesda is saying it’s good surely it must be. A company with their recent track record surely knows what a good product is.

PS: Yassified games will now be $80 and you'll like it.

Didnt Todd outright say 'this is the way I would have wanted start field to look'? I swear that was said in the digital foundery video.

This is damage control till we can get it in our hands and hope we forgot we dont like the slop they are feeding their money pigs.
