Okay, here's a much-less ambitious use of existing AI technology that I think would be vastly-more-useful than whatever they're off doing: how about just going out and using existing AI upscaling techniques and limited human interaction to statically-upscale the textures by maybe 2x to 4x, take advantage of more VRAM on newer hardware?

That's kind of what this is for.
That's frame scaling in real-time, rather than offline texture scaling.
There is a lot of potential for generating on the fly skins and specs. Everyone seems to want to do stupid flashy junk, but a well configured agentic setup could easily get constrained in ways that alter geometry and interactions more dynamically than the broad scope nonsense I keep seeing.
I mean the demo capability isnt bad, could test out 100 ideas before you commit. But thats not what this is going to be used for. Its going to be a weapon against developers eventually.
