With the state of Physical media, the Switch 2/Xbox series X/Playstation 5 is likely my last console generation anyway.

If I am forced to go digital... I might as well stick with PC where the games are cheaper.

The next generation should be a bigger leap than what we got with the move from Xbox One > Xbox Series/Playstation 4 > Playstation 5.
* A.I upscaling.
* A.I Frame generation.
* Neural Texturing.
* Mega Geometry.
* Neural Materials.
* Neural Radiance Cache.
* Neural Texture Compression.

And more should be a big enabler.

So much of the AI stuff you mentioned is inferior to having it done by hand. A.I. frame generation is having the AI draw imaginary frames where none previously existed. So it's not authentic to the written code. Neural texturing just sounds like a fancy word for having AI do the texturing which is an extremely difficult process and requires an artist's touch. Unless they have worked out the exact mathematical formula for unwrapping I don't see AI doing as well as a human. And if they have then is it really AI? Or just a better computer program? 

As for the rest they just sound like the AI version of what they are. And I have the same objections. 

If they go all-in on using AI to make games then I'm out. The art and originality will disappear.
