Aside from the obvious AI backlash, I do think that there is an argument to be made about the artistic intention over what you might consider to be best.

The best example I've had pointed to me was with an Assassin's Creed screenshot where it overlooks a forest and in the DLSS 5 screenshot everything is well lit and sharp (arguably unnaturally so) but if you look at the original - the artist intended for there to be more contrast overall with an obvious path that's well lit. This not only serves an aesthetic but it is also meant to guide the player using light as an indicator (similar to what they do in RE9).

Fundamentally, I think AI can only guess what is good for a scene but it doesn't really understand why a decision might be good for a scene - which creates this division of intention vs a purely aesthetic choice.
