@MomentsInGraphics@mastodon.gamedev.place @yiningkarlli@mastodon.gamedev.place A number of cool advances in Gaussian Splats have come from including transformer architecture in various steps in the training process. And modern ‘ai’ is almost uniformly transformer-based. So, I agree with your statement in the specifics, but I can also see a clear argument that this tech has been influenced by, and gotten cooler because of, ‘ai.’
