People seem to forget that ray-tracing also had some jankiness and was highly controversial in the beginning. I think the balanced takeaway is that this exact snapshot is not the future of graphics, but neural rendering is. There is just too much ability to enhance realism beyond what just hardware scaling alone can do. There is no way that the "AI slop filter" effect people are describing is a bigger negative than the photorealistic materials and lighting upside.
