According to an Nvidia dev/engineer on twitter who has now deleted his tweet as he was likely not permitted to talk about it, The goal is to have it working on lower end cards such as the 5070 which I'd wager would massively lower the amount of backlash.

Is that an RTX 5070 by itself, or an RTX 5070 as an "AI SLI" card? (I'm joking)

I don't think the potential performance cost is causing the backlash. It's just AI hate in general. It was unveiled at an AI event and not a gaming one, which didn't help.

At a time when AI is causing so much harm to the enthusiast PC market, people are jumping on the hate bandwagon whenever they can. When AI is causing the price of tech to go up, a lot of people can only see AI as a bad thing. People will take any and all opportunities to call something "slop".

All good points, I think they should've had DLSS5 as its own standalone event showcased and talked about over an hour or maybe even 2 in a well produced video with people like Bryan Catanzaro, Edward Liu and game devs explaining everything properly in detail, The usual types would've still started crying, Screaming and stomping their feet but at least there would be full detailed information so people wouldn't have to go digging for information afterwards.

I think this is quite far fetched. I think people just don't like it because the showcase was sloppy. I think it made characters look awful. The background lighting was improved but when the focal points of scenes are so obviously bad it really doesn't matter how good everything is. You won't notice it unless you look for it. I think the big backlash proves how bad characters looked.

I think Jensen should stop complaining and take ownership that it was a poor reveal with poor informational tech notes forcing people to come up with the only simple solution they could.

Yeah, I don't think this is slop because it's AI. I think it's slop because I didn't like what was demonstrated and have doubts about its implications. I'm not averse to AI-generated images. I often use them. But I acknowledge that their presence is more akin to 'optimisation' than art. Whether that's an overly pretentious or idealised view, I don't know, but I personally am skeptical about this technology and understand the core of what rational people are criticising.
