DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement (www.pcgamer.com)

The very bad news is, Nvidia says turning DLSS 5 on will currently reduce performance by 50-60%. And that's across the board—no matter the game.

Not gonna lie, I'd try this in the same way I've tried AI for 5 minutes like a morbid curiosity thing. I'm also gonna admit that I can see it working with a very specific category of games, if it didn't have a performance impact. Those games being the kind of games I have absolutely no interest in; sports games. I can see it for porn games too but I've not played more than a few and didn't really see the appeal, but I can imagine it'd be a cool thing for some people.
None of that has any effect on this being a purely bad thing though, I'd rather stop using technology completely than being forced to use AI in any way.

    I bet someone is already working on using this new technology to project arbitrary celebrities into porn games.

    This comment is nonsensical AI hate. It's a mechanical trick to produce interesting developer controlled detail that is hard otherwise to render directly. It might turn out to cost too much for much practical usage for years or forever or it might be sufficiently accelerated by hardware such that it becomes a mainstay this will be a function of what makes pretty graphics better not your hang ups.

    It's a brute force hack that adds tiny details no one will ever notice during actual gameplay, at the cost of the majority of your frames

    if they had google where you live you could actually see demos of details you can see. Also describing something as a "majority of your frames" makes no sense. You either have enough performance to spare and it makes sense to turn on or you don't in which it is interesting tech like ray tracing for the overwhelming majority of gamers.
