I highly reccomend searching a video what DLSS is, how it is used, if you've never seen it before.
DLSS 4.5 and before was a "transformer model" that used the pixels from your screen to predict what the surrounding pixels would be, allowing you to view games in higher resolution than your settings. Some people have shown it running a game at 512 pixels and it appear nearly identical to 1920, but with improved framerate. It struggled with motion in a lot of cases but what you were seeing was what the game developers intended for you to see.
DLSS 5 is not doing that, clearly. It's pulling from something else for reference, some other kind of neural network or language model. The most common critique I hear about it is that it's "overriding the art" by replacing everything with slop the likes of which you see from other bullshit AI.
