I think these tools are great. They rapidly expand image idea prototyping and allow people with creative vision - but lacking in the technical manual muscle memory training of a visual artist - to bring images into existence that others can enjoy, hate or disdain. It's a wonderful thing.
As for all the handwringing about "elections," enough already - all those people mean is "I hate freedom and I don't want anyone convincing someone to vote in a way I don't like." They need to get over it.
That's the thing though, photo-realism takes away from the great art that made some of those games amazing and have character. They just won't be as memorable for me personally.
That's absolutely one take. There will be folks who want to rely on imagination far more, and for those folks, It think there's nothing that compares to tabletop D&D (or some similar version of this). The human imagination is just too powerful for anything to compete with it, at least for now.
With that caveat out of the way, I think full immersion into an RPG, where every character has real-time dialogue that's ad-hoc, and a storyline that can evolve in real time to suit the needs of the players? That's a compelling sell for many. I don't think they'll view it as an RPG at all, in fact. It'll just be experiencing another version of reality.
We're far off from this type of immersion, and yet we are also tantalizingly close!
Just 1 year ago the AI text to video of will smith was released, showing how its still underdeveloped. After 1 year, a huge leap in technology advancement has occured. It can drive both advantages and disadvantages in the society. We just need to adapt with it over time
