never mind that this whole idea of replacing a game's look with AI-generated slop graphics completely ignores the intentionality underlying a game's art style, how it coheres with other elements, etc -- during a time when game makers are reckoning with the limits of realism, no less

BOTW mods done a lot of it.... There's a lot of upscaling/shading/raytracing mods that create another art direction for the game

Just so disappointing to see that article from them.

If I had to decide what the game I was playing should look like, I would end up playing a lot of very dull looking games indeed!
