#3To me this was the least interesting part of the Stadia reveal. State share was the real innovation imo. Would any serious game studio use style transfer ml to actually replace their visual artists? Didn't seem like the quality was there.
That said, it is an awesome PoC. Just not something I see being practically applicable.

Honestly seems more like a user-end personalization than something a developer would use. In a game settings menu, you choose an image that maybe you uploaded to use as the game style? Definitely something people would use. Especially if they figure out how to make it selectively apply to only certain textures/objects or parts of the screen, which seems likely.

#7Fun, but nobody will ever do it for more than 5 seconds before getting a headache and turning it off again.

They need to show something shiny to hide the fact that the system has 100ms of latency on a test environment.
I wonder how much lag the style transfer would add

#9this can potentially be a "mod" play... where individual gamers can change game "skin" and stream videos on youtube...

I would have been much more interested in using deep learning to make human faces more realistic. Somebody was experimenting with it in the past quite successfully IIRC, but I'd love to try it on a real game.
