Found the article:
If they mean AI upscaling, where you take a low resolution image then generate a higher resolution one then sure.
But it will be a while before they have full AI rendering, if ever. AI generation isn’t super precise when it comes to details and for games precision usually matters a lot unless it’s like a narrative game. You probably can’t use an arbitrary but close color for an enemy for example or have health bars look close enough.
It’s just hype. They’re all overly invested so they have to manifest success.
Nvidia is in the business of selling AI hardware. They want to hype up AI so they sell more hardware.
This is a salesman trying to make a sale.
If you ask the question “is this hype or not”, l’d consider who is pushing the narrative and how much they have to gain from it and you’ll probably find your answer.
If you have to ask if it’s hype or not, then it defaults to hype. Self-fulfilling prophecy
People hype dumb shit even when they don’t gain anything from it.
Press X to doubt.
Yeah, I’m sure the biggest AI hardware company can be trusted to be unbiased about this.
I mean… ai Minecraft already exists
And it is absolutely terrible as a game. Funny for a quick laugh, but I dont think thats what theyre talking about.
Hype talk, that doesn’t mean anything. Nvidia is right in that almost every game will have AI upscaling though.
He’s probably referencing the tech we already saw a few years back where the game would render incredibly simple untextured geometry, then the gen AI reskins it to look like a realistic video.
Or maybe someone’s convinced him we’ll make whole games out of Gaussian Splats
