Mr. Incredible DLSS 5 On/Off Satirical Meme
Text content
Comparison of DLSS 5 disabled vs enabled states using Mr. Incredible visuals
Overview
This is a two-panel satirical meme mocking hypothetical future graphics technology, NVIDIA DLSS 5.
- Left Panel: The original animated Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) from Pixar's The Incredibles, with a smug, closed-mouth smile, labeled DLSS 5 Off.
- Right Panel: An AI-generated realistic version of Mr. Incredible, featuring an unsettling, wide-eyed neutral expression that falls into the uncanny valley, labeled DLSS 5 On.
The joke satirizes the idea that pushing graphics realism too far (via technologies like DLSS) could result in unnervingly uncanny character models, subverting expectations of improved visual quality.
Origin notes
This meme originates from Reddit (as specified in the provided source info), and is a remix of the popular Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny meme trend. That trend features progressive panels of Mr. Incredible transforming into increasingly uncanny realistic versions. This specific repurposes the format to joke about DLSS 5, a hypothetical future iteration of NVIDIA's Deep Learning Super Sampling upscaling technology. The right panel uses AI generation to create the uncanny realistic character, contrasting with the original animated scene from The Incredibles on the left.
