If they manage to make it truly artist-directed and subtle, then I'm sure people won't have an issue with it. It's more efficient than raytracing for sure.

As it stands, it's horrible and the reaction has been rightly negative.

Not sure why anyone would want this, either on the consumer or producer side. (Unless it's Madden or something.)

If this supplants prior versions of DLSS — which magically doubles perf while maintaining visual quality — it would be a tragedy.

It's a tech demo. Let us treat it as one. For faces, skin, and hair (so everything human) I personally dislike the direction. But for environment, props, and especially lighting, it's quite nice!

It has a tendency to brighten the shadows and the scene as a whole. Particularly noticable on Assassin's Creed Shadows (ironically, given the name). In that game it also removes a lot of the fog.

I think that's more an issue with their AI model though and could be fixed in the future with a different model. Some diffusion models have a similar fake brightness / studio lighting issue, e.g. Imagen 4, others don't (Imagen 3).
