Did you even read even the summary? I know we're on Slashdot though, so ... fair enough. It's not about hand-coding websites, it's about the *content*. Imagine that somebody wants to share something with the world via the internet. Now, this sharing is at 66% efficiency, with the added bonus that the content will be stolen, rehashed and added to the already crowded competition for user attention. It's a bit grim, imo.

Your anecdote vs my anecdote:

-Me: "what approach do games studios use for this software problem"

-AI: "Most use XYZ, they basically do this and that"

-Me: "Really? Not sure about that. Provide me your sources please"

-AI: "Well, there's no exact source that says XYZ, but most do say QWE"

-Me: "Really? Show me some sources please"

-AI: "Of course! Here they are". Proceeds to show some links that talk about something which is not QWE...

Not anywhere near. At least H1-B replacements are human. With needs, maybe families, etc. As sad as it is for you, it would be an opportunity for a better life for them. Not comparable to spinning another instance of a lifeless algorithm, which provides Altman et al a tiny teeny bit more pocket change.

You misunderstand, either on purpose or because you can't read. Photoshop, and genAI can be used while authoring, yes. To get the look one wishes, as part of the creative process. DLSS is runtime working ON THE RESULTS of their work. It's like working first, making your artistic decision, and then passing it over to the AI to make its own judgement and interpretation. Just no.

Some may want to bend the laws of physics. Others will be steadfastly against it.

And *all* would like their work to appear as *they* intended. It's not hard to grasp. Point me to one artist (who is not a burnt out husk) that would say "sure I don't care about the skin texture I labored to hard to make fucking pores and wrinkles for, just turn DLSS so you can see it better, as NVIDIA knows best". Give it a rest.

So one cannot have an understanding what's going on in a particular industry? I've worked with and talk to people in both games and film industry. My statement is derived from an understanding of artists and of pipelines. Film and game studios - they all enable artists to do their work. For example, Pixar's RenderMan, includes "non-physical" controls, which "are designed to help artists make art-directed imagery by ignoring certain laws of physics we usually simulate." (from the docs). First time I saw this in a paper. So, yeah, "artists", and you also seem to have no clue.

Bullshit. When optimization algorithms compress the hell out of geometry, textures, etc, the aim is to ... PRESERVE ... the original content and details, as closely as possible. If you think that artistic decisions are ignored, you're deluded and you have no idea how any of this works. Programmers make tools so that artists can express themselves most effectively and efficiently.
