Smartphones are finally getting Nvidia DLSS-style tech — and I’m ready for the ‘fake frames’

There’s no escaping AI technologies these days, and when computer giant NVIDIA attempts to blend this hugely lucrative future with its gaming legacy, controversy soon follows. Its latest DLSS 5 technology is a prime example, not only building on its AI-infused frame generation and upscaling tech, but also generating its own “photoreal” pixels to replace original textures and lighting.

Where the PC and console industries lead, smartphones soon follow. It won’t be long before more and more smartphone games start using AI-assisted features to improve performance and image quality, like frame generation and upscaling. I’m skeptical but intrigued.
