I don’t understand why anyone paying attention is giving nvidia any money at this point. It is abundantly clear they don’t give any fucks about the consumer GPU customer. They will charge you $1000 to sell you to OpenAI as soon as that baffling sentence somehow becomes possible.

Players: all we want is consistent frame rates and affordable pricing

Nvidia: best I can offer is uncanny valley filter. That’ll cost you double.

Almost makes me wish I hadn’t already switched to Team Red, so that I could switch to Team Red due to how comically bullshit this is (on top of their recent vibe coded driver releases)

Would you say the same thing if you didn’t know that it was AI? I think it actually looks pretty good overall, although some of the changes (like deciding that this character dyes her hair had has undyed roots) are odd.

Edit: It seems to do a better job with the soccer player.

Edit 2: I wonder if it works better with male faces than with female ones. It’s making the woman’s eyes and lips bigger but not the man’s.

Ai hate is so strong!

I think it looks extremely promising. It may be a bit uncanny with the faces, probably fixable, but environments are dope!

This is fantastic, this is probably the way to get completely realistic graphics. This is the way, this is finally actual progress in realism.

I wouldn’t have called this generative AI, but Jensen did. Great for stills, uncanny valley for motions. People are claiming it generates completely new images, but in this instance it keeps the same geometry and texture and just processes motion and color vectors to create a hyper-rendered version of the characters.

Ignoring the obvious problems of the hardware it requires and supporting the AI bubble feeding monopoly that is NVIDIA, it is interesting technology that doesn’t actually seem to act as a medium for IP theft, my beef with what I call AI slop. It might only be practically good for photo mode in games, but it will be interesting to see how it works out. It could kickstart interest in making Let’s Play in a more Machinima style.

Meh, progress on graphical realism basically stalled out in the last 10 years. It was a matter of time before AI became the tech that pushes it to the next level. I personally don’t think it looks terrible. It looks more realistic if anything. If you don’t like this particular case or the beautification filter, that is one thing, but I don’t see it as refuting the use of the technology as a whole.

Edit: yep, I clicked the post and watched the promo clip. I gotta say, it looks great. I think if you’re saying otherwise, you just aren’t being honest. Lemmy has an ax to grind about a lot of weird shit. It’s odd as hell. I could not careless about the downvotes. Doesn’t change my view.

The Lemmy mob is no different.

It seems like it’s just making it more realistic rather then “beautifying” her. The original picture doesn’t have any flaws or blemishes or anything to indicate that the modelers wanted for her to be anything but attractive. If anything the other one gives more detail to the skin and makes it look real rather than ultra smooth clay.
