I hate to be controversial but if it helps more of those brilliant minds move from exploring and proving less practical number theories and into applications of numerical science to real-world problems, with AI as a supporting tool I think this is where the golden age begins.
I agree - they have not been good games. However, the fact that it is able to build and work with shaders effectively is promising - massive time saver and lowers the barrier to entry for people who need these capabilities without double majoring in advanced mathematics and computer science/game design.
One would hope it accelerates AR/VR - if decent studios finally get behind it.
