"DLSS 5 will be trainable and promptable"

I had a 700 words written about "AI" in games rendering, and how there are plenty of pre-transformer (pre-LLM) uses where it actually sincerely makes sense to use a neural network in physics and rendering pipelines, and all the cool potential for screenspace shaders implemented in convolutions.
I'll post the draft below but I stopped because (1) LLM generated text makes it discouraging to write text and (2) LLMs make it discouraging to write about neural networks.
DLSS 5 being "trainable" is not surprising (duh? any of these should be small-weights small-window shaders that don't take a lot of VRAM) and "promptable" (red flag klaxon blaring). "Promptable" means they have an LLM there, which, what? Lol? What the hell?
