Wonder if the AI rush will result in a situation where the state of the art is so far beyond what's needed for gaming that gpus won't be a bottleneck anymore.

Not really, given that it doesn't increase the amount of RAM compared to the old 4080 Super. If you want to do 'modern' AI on a (relative) budget you should be looking at a 4090 or 5090. This seems to be the card targeted most squarely at gamers.
I heard nvidia is gimping consumer-grade cards to not be good at LLM training, is this true? If so are they gimped only for training or also for running LLMs? I guess the limited amount of RAM is also a way to limit the cards.
So I'd say there's good evidence that something outside cost and value to the gaming use case is why they don't have higher memory SKUs, and eating into "professional" priced AI SKUs is an obvious possibility.
I doubt anyone outside Nvidia itself knows "for sure", but it's a pretty big indication.
It's targeted at the "AI" gold rushers isn't it? Not at gamers.
I got a 3090 in the depths of the 2021 GPU shortage and for my purposes (mainly JRPGs) I can still run basically every new game at 4k max settings. I don't really see much need to upgrade.

I dunno, it seems the scaling is different for AI. Like AI is more about horizontal scaling and gaming is more about vertical scaling (after you get to native 4k resolutions).

Expect a lot of creatively bankrupt tech demos with eye-watering hardware requirements.

Any additional capability will be quickly filled with bloat, especially in the video game industry, where optimization is for post-release. Expect a lot of creatively bankrupt tech demos with eye-watering hardware requirements.

Graphics programming is a lost art, buried deep below an *unreal* amount of abstraction layers

Man I sure love some blurry mess of pixels that looks like it’s straight out of the Wii U catalogue and requires a 4070 to run a 1080p60 Graphics programming is a lost art, buried deep below an *unreal* amount of abstraction layers
