The overwhelming backlash<\/a> against Nvidia\u2019s new DLSS 5\u00a0 feature that uses AI to yassify video games has clearly rattled CEO Jensen Huang, who\u2019s now insisting that he actually hates AI\u2019s horrible and homogenous aesthetic as much as gamers do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think their perspective makes sense and I can see where they\u2019re coming from, because I don\u2019t love AI slop myself,\u201d Huang said during an interview in a new episode of the Lex Fridman podcast, as quoted by Kotaku<\/em><\/a>. \u201cYou know, all of the AI-generated content increasingly looks similar and they\u2019re all beautiful and so I\u2019m empathetic towards what they\u2019re thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s kind of an astonishing line for Huang to take, sincerely or not, given that his company ballooned to a near $5 trillion valuation off providing the hardware for the generative AI boom \u2014 and the tidal wave of slop that\u2019s come with it.<\/p>\n

Here comes that inevitable conjunction, though: \u201cBut that\u2019s not what DLSS 5 is trying to do,\u201d Huang insisted.<\/p>\n

After DLSS 5 was unveiled with a video demo last week, gamers and developers from every corner of the internet retaliated by calling it \u201cslop\u201d and accusing it of undermining artistic intent. It was relentlessly mocked in memes and nicknamed \u201csloptracing,\u201d a play on Nvidia\u2019s raytracing tech for realistically simulating light.<\/p>\n

It was the rare example of gamer outrage being warranted: the feature used a generative AI model to plaster a familiar hyperreal AI sheen onto the games\u2019 graphics, making character faces look Facetuned to conform to trendy beauty standards. It even produced classic AI hallucinations, with one character given a grotesque \u201cgiga-nostril\u201d after the feature appeared to misinterpret a facial shadow as part of his nose<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Huang days later questionably struck back<\/a> by calling gamers \u201ccompletely wrong\u201d \u2014 the thrust of all ironclad arguments \u2014 claiming that DLSS 5 doesn\u2019t take away from \u201cartistic control.\u201d The long and short of his jargon laden defense was that the generative AI feature wasn\u2019t a post-processing filter, but anchored to the game\u2019s geometry and lighting data, which developers could fine-tune to keep in line with their aesthetic vision.<\/p>\n

His defense was seemingly undermined when Nvidia employee Jacob Freeman revealed<\/a> to PC gaming YouTuber Daniel Owen that DLSS 5 only works off of 2D frame data \u2014 not 3D lighting and geometry.<\/p>\n

Still, Huang stuck to his guns on the podcast appearance. DLSS 5 is \u201cground truth structure data guided,\u201d he insisted. \u201cAnd so the artist determined the geometry we are completely truthful to. The geometry maintains in every single frame.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDLSS is integrated with the artist, and so it\u2019s about giving the artist the tool of AI, the tool of generative AI,\u201d Huang added. \u201cThey could decide not to use it, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n

That they could.<\/strong><\/p>\n
