Agree to disagree.  AI tools are coming, just look at NVIDIA stock.  Development costs will drop and graphics will continue.  PC is already ahead of the game and demonstrates this.

Really? Show me one major game being developed by AI and not people. Show me one major game that even plans to do this in the next 5 years. Show me one game that utilizes a 4090 outside of just cranking resolution. All "next gen" games are still playable on a 2050 GPU. 

Development costs are not dropping. You're delusional if you think that is what's happening now. If they were maybe you ought to send Sony/Insomniac and all these other studios the memo, because apparently that isn't the reality of what's going on. 

Nvidia stock is high not because of AI for game development (lol) it's because of stupid basic photos it can generate and even that they are very crude still and the AI cannot yet understand specific commands. People are investing because they think maybe in 10 years this might be the next internet. It is still years, probably even decades away from being able to be used in a way where you can just tell it "make me a Mario game with XYZ and I want the texture in this level to like like this, and Mario to have these physics" etc. etc. etc. etc. 

DLSS is AI....  so there are a bunch of examples.  

Necessity is the mother of invention.  

There is a necessity to reduce development costs, thus invention is coming.

This is how all markets work.  Just look at electric cars, doing things people didn't think were possible 10 years ago.
