This article is absurd. Corridor made a tech demo to show what's possible with AI. They weren't suggesting that it should or shouldn't be how things are done in the gaming industry, just how it could be done. What sort of smoothbrain neanderthals take issue with a tech demo?
The corridor digital video is a interesting tech demonstration, face generation is going to be another tool in the toolbox available for developers.
If gamers had the ability to upsample their own games, with custom faces, I'm sure some would do it, but I imagine the vast majority would just go with the original creators intentions.
Thanks for the article link! It was an interesting read
The real question is how many of the creators would love the ability to put this in their game. Maybe they wished it looked like the upscaled version all along but couldn't due to the technical restrictions of the time
I've noticed AI tends to give everyone light blue eyes. Back when I used YouTube, I noticed people use AI to generate thumbnails and all people with brown eyes had blue eyes which confused me.
