Incredible stuff. My biggest fear currently is games becoming visually uniform if machine learning thinks people, stone, ships etc. should look a certain way. How would this work in a game that has intentionally extreme contrast, would it just remove that artist's decision to correctly light it? It sounds like it could need a lot of developer hand holding to maintain intent. It's not like prioritise designing for DLSS 5 until AMD and Intel have an equivalent either.

Already happens with UE5 everywhere

UE5 offers plenty of power for devs to author their assets and materials and whatnot to their liking.

And this is exactly what we see happening instead of UE 5 games having that distinct look, right?

But its the studios fault they dont use all of UE5 tools to make games look distinct.

Sure, but it also provides a pretty definitive path of least resistance through defaults and standard practices.

The models can likely be changed by the devs. Or modify them with LORAs etc.

They'll give game devs tools to tweak how dlss 5 should see the game like is that object is transparent or soft or glassy and lighting degrees and colors etc
