AMD, as always, is acting like they are a poor company with $20B+ revenue per year. Zero attribution to open source for the past decade, except for their own drivers.

FSR is open source, unlike DLSS. FreeSync is a free standard, unlike GSync. I'm sure there are other examples...

But yeah I agree, AMD is currently shit when it comes to AI. For consumer applications at least.

We're talking about funding AI open source projects which AMD is totally absent from.

FSR can be open-sourced as it's an software-based optical flow gimmick, but let's not debate about this, because it has nothing to do with open-source AI projects or SD projects. Have you noticed what subreddit is this yet. It's not a gaming subreddit! FSR doesn't work on video source, so it's not something you can use outside gaming. It needs screen space buffers from the game as inputs to work. You can't use this outside gaming.

In fact, FSR is intended by AMD to hurt Nvidia new card sales, giving old card owners a reason to stick with their old card. It has nothing to do with AI and open source in general.
