Razer shows what the Sneki Snek mascot could look like with DLSS 5.

Nvidia DLSS 5 was probably the most controversial announcement at this year’s Game Developers Conference, as Nvidia’s latest AI feature uses an AI filter to make games more realistic, regardless of artistic intent. The Internet reacted partly with amusement, partly with criticism, but in any case DLSS 5 divides opinions.

Views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in the text belong solely to the author.

While some refer to Nvidia DLSS 5 as an AI slop generator, the gaming experts at Digital Foundry praise the technology – only to receive fierce criticism in the YouTube comments for “unlabeled advertising”. The performance requirements are also high – the demo was rendered with two GeForce RTX 5090 ($3,849 on Amazon).

Whether you prefer the extremely realistic, highly detailed look of DLSS 5 or the stylized original look of a game that reflects the artistic intent of the developers is ultimately up to each player. However, the internet has reacted with amusement to the announcement of DLSS 5, showing what this technology could lead to if the AI filter is given free rein. Razer, for example, shows what the company’s popular mascot, Sneki Snek, could look like with DLSS 5 activated.
 

Gaming YouTuber Cary Golomb predicts that DLSS 5 could be used not only in 3D games in the future, but also in 2D adventures – making them almost unrecognizable.
 

Who needs artists when you have DLSS? Even hand-drawn graphics could be transformed into photorealistic graphics by Nvidia’s artificial intelligence.
 

What if Nvidia takes realism too far? Unless it looks like it was shot with a smartphone camera, it’s not realistic enough for DLSS 5.
 

Even Nvidia boss Jensen Huang is not immune to submitting to the beauty ideals of his own AI with DLSS 5.
 

Once art has become obsolete, DLSS 5 can easily adapt it to modern beauty standards.
 

After many games already offer an arachnophobia mode that replaces spiders with cuter animals, DLSS 5 could finally give even too creepy characters a makeover.
 

If Nvidia’s demo videos have shown one thing, it’s that DLSS 5 loves wide jawlines – why should characters in games have different face shapes?
