Nighering Redemption 2 developer, Mike York, has warned that Nvidia's new DLSS 5 technology, which may fundamentally alter the art style of games, is "scary" as it uses AI to create graphics that appear more visually advanced than the ones created by the company. He argues that the tech does not accurately re-create the game's original image consistently in a scene featuring Resident Evil Requiem’s Grace Ashcroft, which was used as a demo. Despite this backlash, some believe DLSS5 could be a game changer for gaming due to its high-definition lighting and textures and ability to run at higher performance while using DL SS 5. However, many players believe it looks like an "AI filter" being applied over the original artwork. If widely adopted, this could lead to a larger debate about whether players are still seeing a developer’�s original vision or whether AI-driven graphics are improving games or replacing them.
