Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

That sadly has not been my experience. I recall people on some gaming reddits being all 'you cannot stop the coming tide' re AI. And also recently got an indie game after nobody mentioned that the dev was using AI art for it (esp the recent updates, it also really sucks the art I mean) in the thread about it. But yes some of them are good on it, not a single entity after all
I appreciate tools like FSR and DLSS but wish they were a value proposition for those of us who can't afford to buy a Xty ninenty every 3 years, as opposed to being pretty much mandatory to prop up the useability of increasingly poorly optimized games.
oh dont' worry - they prop up the appearance not the usability. They look smoother but user input is still sampled at the slower rate, so the games aren't actually any more reactive.
I guess in most games where millisecond reactions are necessary you probably aren't doing much scenery gazing in the first place and can switch DLSS off without missing much (but you'll have to pay extra for it anyway).
The long term problem is that no doubt eventually the 30fps of shitty unoptimized gameplay should be enough for everyone rhetoric will move on to you will take 180fps that feel like 30 and like it.
