Future of shaders (not yet)

Sorry if posted in wrong place. Just wanted to share some images i got from qwen ai when fed original low res. Ps1 images. I think in a near future we will have shaders able to remake games on the fly.

Of course this couldnt yet run in real time, but the possibilities with ai is really endless.

Second one is fine, the rest feels a bit off, especially the third one, with the doll face. Whenever AI is used, I think the first step is to nail the style right, not merely upscaling or modernizing.

Where the will exists, there is a way, but compute shaders and pre-calculations / calculating or making pre-rendered graphisc have better chances here. Might be game specific and an upgrade of texture replacement. Ordinary fullscreen shaders alone can’t just be imbued with sufficient IQ like that to handle general situations the way AI upscaling and enhancing are doing it.
