NvidiaのDLSS 5の発表に対するネット上の反応は、頭文字を「slop」と再定義するミームや、3月の発表にもかかわらずエイプリルフールのいたずらと勘違いする懐疑的な意見を生んでいる。
Nvidiaが2026年3月16日に発表したDLSS 5（ゲームにおけるリアルタイム・ニューラル・レンダリングのためのジェネレーティブAIのアップグレード）は、3月17日のTechRadarの記事で激しい反発を招いた。エイプリル・フールの季節以外でも「憎しみが溢れ出す」と題されたこの記事は、バイラルな嘲笑を呼び起こした。このビデオはエイプリルフールのジョークだと思ったが、まだ3月だ」というコメントが目立った。ユーザーたちは「slop」を組み込んだ略語を流行らせ、AIで強化されたビジュアルを低品質または均質化されたものとして批評した。このミームの流行は、発表当初の報道を土台に、不気味な効果に対するより広範なゲーマーの批判を増幅させている。
