I don't like AI, but setting that aside, isn't DLSS just frame generation to improve performance of games on weaker hardware? So if the AI bubble is buying up all your DDR5 and your DDR4 isn't fast enough for the frame rate and resolution you want, isn't DLSS a good thing? Like yes it's using AI to figure out what goes in between the frames, but it's basing that off of human created frames around it. Kind of like how those 60FPS 4K anime intros on YouTube work. Except a lot of people don't like them either... but when it comes to gaming, people who want 60FPS or higher can leave the setting on, and people who don't want it can suffer at 20-30FPS if that's what they want.

I do realise that what people really want is affordable computer parts, but that's not happening any time soon, and it won't happen soon enough for the next generations of Xbox and PlayStation. While the current generations were marred by availability at launch due to scalpers, I feel the next generation will be marred by its compromises in the name of AI. And, while this is a PC gaming comm, the consoles do drive the industry, and PC gamers get what's left. Fortunately — especially with Betheslop games — you can often mod some of the more egregious shit out.
