Digital Foundry Retracts Initial DLSS 5 Praise Amid Criticism and Threats
Digital Foundry found itself at the center of a significant controversy concerning artificial intelligence and NVIDIA's new technology. While the team initially gave a positive assessment of DLSS 5.0, they are now partially retracting their earlier statements.
In a recent video, the journalists revealed they had faced personal insults from players. The editor-in-chief further noted that the team even received death threats.
In an updated piece, the editorial team revisited its original stance and issued the following statement:
"It's been a crazy few days. When we released our DLSS 5 coverage, we were impressed by the technology and what it does, but we put it out too soon. With generative AI causing so much debate and the future of game creation potentially at stake, we should have spent more time covering the topic correctly and analyzing what we saw more deeply, drawing on the opinion of the entire team."
This situation starkly illustrates how acutely the topic of AI is perceived within the gaming community and beyond. Debates surrounding DLSS 5 are ongoing and, judging by the intense reactions, are unlikely to subside quickly.
