> the choice to embrace AI-powered image processing in the form of ray tracing

nVidia's CEO mistook raytracing for AI?? Wow.

> Included with OptiX, the AI-Accelerated Denoiser is a new post-processing feature to denoise images reducing the need for rendering iterations. This denoiser is based on a paper published by NVIDIA research “Interactive Reconstruction of Monte Carlo Image Sequences using a Recurrent Denoising Autoencoder”

But that paper makes no mention of AI.

Actually that more suggests he mistook raytracing for image processing ...
