In particular, AI and inefficiency are often discussed in the same breath, particularly with respect to energy consumption. Clearly, training is incredibly expensive, and the transformer which powers DLSS probably gobbled a huge amount of energy coming into existence. But now that we *have* it, its inferred approximation of the shader computation function seems to be about an order of magnitude *less* energy-hungry than the traditional computation analogue. That's really interesting.
