Kotaku notes that players are divided over the AI filter's effects. Rock Paper Shotgun describes the filter as an "AI yassification filter." Meanwhile, Tom's Hardware and TechPowerUp focus on the technical aspects, such as compatibility with RTX 4000 Series graphics cards and performance improvements in games like Control.
