DLSS has to invent detail to improve an image. Up until now it tried to make the image look like the original version or how it thinks it would look like at higher resolution.

Nvidia decided that's not enough slop, so DLSS 5 will make everything look like a DALL-E image prompt. In this case, it decided to give the character a lip-filler injection and full makeup.

NGL I thought it was just different lighting making the makeup color pop a little more, but now that you mention it the lip filler is just right there.

It kinda makes sense when they just train it on the actual game running at a higher resolution. Since the training data is exactly the target image. This is stupid though.
