Roblox wants AI to make its games photorealistic, but the devs making those games aren't sold on the idea: 'I don't think that your average player right now wants to do that'

When Nvidia comes out with something like DLSS 5, promising that AI can be used to make realistic videogames look even more shiny and real, it makes a kind of sense. Of course Nvidia thinks that's what we want. When the same kind of promise comes from Roblox, it makes less sense.

Roblox Reality promises to upsample blocky Lego-like Roblox games like Grow a Garden until they're photorealistic. Problems with the specific implementation demonstrated in the video are obvious. Maybe you're not into the shimmery wetness of everything, and the way Grow a Garden's menu has been interpreted as a sign in the world seems like an obvious problem. But, more fundamentally, the whole concept seems to misunderstand Roblox's appeal.
