Nvidia revealed its new AI-powered DLSS 5 rendering model at GTC 2026, and the internet’s kicking its ass in the comments. Promising the most photorealistic gaming experience to date, the tech certainly talks a good game. While it offers developers “detailed controls” over its various levers, when it comes to character models, all I, and many others, saw from its demos was the same uncanny look you’d find in those AI mobile game ads – you know the ones I’m talking about. If this is why we’re having to sacrifice a kidney for a stick of RAM, then we at least need to find some laughs somewhere. Fortunately, while my chances of an affordable PC upgrade are falling like the Dow Jones, the meme economy is on the rise.

 Nvidia’s DLSS 5 rendering mode boasts impressive features, but its uncanny valley AI look is already being roasted relentlessly online.  PCGamesN
