I would hesitate to call it a skill, because you don't have to be anything resembling a polished writer for a prompt to work in an LLM. At best, you can argue that you just need to write enough details of what you're imagining. But the AI is still doing all of the work after that. Unlike the...

Not true, because the photographer still has to physically operate the camera. The photographer has to know how the camera works, and what settings to use in whatever situation or lighting that exists. The photographer has to know things like shutter speed, ISO, exposure, f/stops, etc. The...

A prompt is: you tell the genAI to make the thing, and the AI is the one making it. Your involvement with the process ends after your prompt and only begins again once you issue a new prompt. Beyond your prompt, whatever it does is out of human hands. OTOH, operating a machine that manufactures...

Silly comparison on its face. People still have to be present to actually operate the machines that make T-shirts. AI, OTOH, is specifically programmed to remove human input altogether. Once you understand that simple concept, you might finally understand the reasons for all the objections...

So meaningless that Microsoft threw a hissy fit over it as recently as earlier this month.

Yeaaaaaaahhh ... I'm gonna trust actual developer quotes over that one other editorial (not article) you quoted, all of which is one guy (the author of that article) and his opinions. Also at the end of what you linked, as if it wasn't clear already: As for why actual devs would be spooked...

Yeah, it's called NVIDIA shifting from a computer hardware company (primarily GPUs) to a full-blown AI company, then getting high off its own supply and regurgitating it back at the gamers who allowed that company to be successful to begin with. And yes I get this isn't reliant on data centers...

Must be fun acting like this isn't connected to that.

Let's be real: NVIDIA and other AI companies have clearly displayed that they're willing to force this stuff down our throats where we want it or not.

Excellent, maybe not. But at least they still have to put in the bare minimum effort. With DLSS 5, they won't even be doing that much. And what's worse, with so many developers doing that all at once, everything is going to look the same. AI slop all around. Even in THAT absolute best-case...

Let's be real: what is FAR more likely to happen is that the studios (whether the devs of their own volition, or much more likely the suits in charge) will use DLSS 5 as a crutch, and development will cut down on the art side of things, render everything half-baked and let DLSS 5 fill in the...

Well, I can. You realize there are different degrees of "dark", right?

The left image has actual artistic direction. The right image splatters random and arbitrary brightening all over it. Also it's a Resident Evil game. It's supposed to be dark.

The "reason" being, no matter how much you want to copy/paste from NVIDIA's website and pretend to be more knowledgeable on the subject than me, I don't want all video games looking like someone put an Instagram filter over it all.

I'm against ens***ification, which is what this latest version of DLSS actively encourages.
