Nvidia "confirms" DLSS 5 relies on 2D frame data as testing reveals hallucinations (www.techspot.com)

Early reactions to Nvidia's DLSS 5 were swift and skeptical, with some observers likening the technology to an Instagram-style filter applied over gameplay footage. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang refuted the allegations, but subsequent clarifications have helped outline how the system actually works – and where it can fall short.

So they have this nice 3D card, which they had a hand in inventing and "perfecting" to render the entire 3D scene in beautiful, stunning detail, and then another card with AI instructions that totally ignores all of that just happened, takes a screenshot and puts a filter on it in real time basically. What a massive waste of power and computation.

Further confirming this is not meant to ever be used by actual gamers, and instead exists only to advertise real time genAI modification to existing video media.

Best comment about this was from a video posted yesterday:

Nvidia keeps saying that this tech is still a work in progress, yet they made the decision to release a demo in its current state...

GenAI is the ultimate demoware. Bro, it’ll get better. Just look how good it is now.

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago

Just one more data center, bro! Promise!

Can't tell if serious.

As microslop was constantly saying last year, LLMs and their ilk are a product in search of an application.

Every company is desperate to find anything these garbage machines can do well enough to validate the trillion or so dollars pumped into them.

Well, if it isn't little Lisa Slopson! The tech bros answer to a QUESTION NO ONE ASKED!?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 hours ago

That's clearly the insane part, like okay it can be a bit helpful in this or that scenario, but they spent like every person on earth would want to pay 250 euros a month for it...

Demos are very often an example of in progress works or technology. That literally happens all the time.

[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 27 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Doesnt really matter IMO. If you have known bugs and flaws you dont showcase those, or if they are present in the showcase you atleast adress them and show what is to be expected upon release. NVIDIA just flat out didnt care. As soon as motion increases the artefacting is crazy. How do you even decide that this is remotely good enough for a demo? 

[–] phar@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

Okay but that is not what the person said or what the poster above quoted as being the best part. I'm not commenting on the overall performance I'm just saying that demos very often are exactly what that sentence implies they shouldn't be.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 19 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Nvidia hears people like motion blur and AI slop so they put some AI slop in their motion blur.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago

Ugh. "Everyone is doing BLOOM, lets also do BLOOM but at +150% more!"

I remember that, motion blur came after and now I guess ai 😓

:3

PS: The hallucinations are artistic freedom 😂

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 27 points 5 hours ago

And yet, they chose to demo a broken technology with obvious bugs and flaws. The demos from tech companies are supposed to make people excited, not recoil in disgust.

This isn't some tiny company, either. It's fucking nVidia, who supposedly has the money to create a good demo.

Wasn't DLSS working fine before, wtf did they do to it?

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

The waste is the point.

It needs to be more expensive, because that can be leveraged for higher valuations.

[–] albbi@piefed.ca 16 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Haven't you heard? Everything must contain generative AI now.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

DLSS stands for "deep learning super scaling." It was always gen-ai. Those extra details weren't being revealed, they were being generated.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Wtf did they do to it.

✨AI ✨

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

But it was working fine and probably cheaper, this makes it worse. Where the fuck is QA?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 31 minutes ago) (1 children)

Where the fuck is QA?

✨ They replaced them with AI ✨

img2img slop filter for every frame in real time. Great job nvidia what a dumb waste of resources.
