Alright, this one’s off the cuff: no notes, no script, just me watching a reputation catch fire in real time. I dig into Digital Foundry’s DLSS 5 commentary, the backlash they somehow “didn’t see coming,” and the absolutely embarrassing attempt to backtrack once their Patreon numbers cratered. I’m not here for the pixel-peeping theatre—my issue is integrity. If you’re going to gush over Nvidia’s generative AI face-swapping nonsense because you don’t want to upset the corporate overlords and lose access, then don’t act shocked when the audience turns on you. Then I pivot into the bit everyone keeps pretending is too complicated: I’m not an “AI hater.” I’m using machine learning tools right now for background cutout, and that stuff can be genuinely useful—like what Corridor Crew show with neural-net keying that saves insane man-hours without replacing creative intent. That’s the line for me: “good AI” is the kind that helps humans do creative work faster and better; “bad AI” is generative slop that overwrites artistic decisions, changes lighting, changes faces, and rewrites the intent of the original art. DLSS 5’s generative approach isn’t “enhancement”—it’s interference, and gamers are right to be angry.
