Framed another way, even though training DLSS probably had a massive carbon footprint, the inference will be applied across every PC gamer who turns it on, and stretched over the lifetime of the GPUs that almost certainly results in a very significant net carbon *savings* on the video game rendering that people were going to do anyway.
So in other words, this is an example of AI significantly reducing net energy usage.
