Nvidia reveals DLSS's AI upscaled graphics filter, gets roundly mocked by pretty much everyone on the Internet

Nvidia recently unveiled DLSS 5, an AI-powered technology intended to enhance visual fidelity in games. However, the reveal was met with almost universal mockery due to the filter's effect of drastically altering character appearances, often described as 'yassifying' them. Footage showcased examples from games like Resident Evil and Oblivion, where characters' faces were noticeably changed, with enlarged lips and excessive makeup. Despite endorsements from industry figures like Todd Howard and Jun Takeuchi, the public reaction has been overwhelmingly negative, spawning a meme format highlighting the bizarre results. While DLSS has historically been praised for its performance-boosting upscaling capabilities, this new filter is seen as a step backward, potentially overriding developers' artistic vision. Nvidia is attempting damage control, claiming developers retain artistic control, but the initial impression has been largely unfavorable.
