AI frame generation makes sense on lower hardware but to turn your games into slop? Why the hell? Why not enhance the 3d rendering or ray tracing with this ** crap.

I would actually argue it does not. Frame generation requires a minimum of 45-60 FPS so with such a requirement it does not take a game from unplayable to playable. Additionally, those frames don’t lead to the same experience as if the GPU had natively rendered the game because it does not account for the user input for those frames. It literally delays the next frame to insert a fake frame in between, leading to an increase in latency, so the only experience improvement is a smoothing of the rendering but it makes the visual quality worse and the latency worse. To me, this does not make sense and has been very wrongly advertised by nvidia with claims such as an 5070 = 4090, so so wrong.

Yeah, the only case where frame gen makes sense is when you care more about smooth motion than responsiveness, and you’re willing to pay for it with the inherent artifacting.
Games (and TVs) have gotten a lot better at latency compared to the 100+ms PS3 days, so it wouldn’t phase me if someone with a ultra high refresh rate monitor says they prefer having it on because of how smooth it is, but there are big drawbacks.
