Hot takes: There's no pure "gaming GPU" anymore at Nvidia, I believe that GeForce is a prosumer brand now. phones have been using their machine learning hardware for photo and video operation for a while now, those kind of thing are just making their beginning on the PC space with Adobe Photoshop and the like, Nvidia has been trying really hard to sell their RTX laptop as a creative tool, a market that got many apple afficionado, so I really doubt that we'll see them getting rid of it in their GPU, and let Apple (and soon intel) say stuff like : "you won't find machine learning acceleration in competing devices".
Even beyond gaming, Microsoft seemed pretty happy about adding on-device machine learning and A.I to windows, but the general public doesn't seems to care

They're really desperately looking for new markets. And all of them are dead on arrival, because quite simply, its too rich for people's blood. Happy few won't carry an industry for the happy few. At the same time, yes, we have and 'want' more content creators, but we're also placing the axe on the roots of Big Tech these days and with that comes a radical change in our perspective on social media and its algorithms, they're already under broad review, even by social media frequenters. And a lot of our content desires are fueled by it. Click, next, rinse, repeat.
The show must go on, but realistically, we've landed into utter bullshit land. I'd much rather see a drastic improvement in quality software rather than hardware. The hardware is fine as it has been for ten years now. Nothing much changed and we're fighting an uphill performance battle against diminishing returns: FPS is beyond what we 'need', resolution is too fine to even discern pixels at normal view distances. These things are end of the line and everyone can see it, and no marketing can deny it, however hard they (and some people here) try. They're buying 48 inch OLEDs to justify the 4K res (and display tech) - nothing wrong with it, but it shows how silly and over the top we already are.
Its no coincidence also that VR got spurred into action a few years ago. Another niche that got re-launched how often now? But "now"(!!!one) the tech is truly ready. Mhm, except you cán buy upgraded HMDs faster than you upgrade your PC. But the people ain't, its still a niche that won't break into mainstream usage, because of the simple fact you look like a fool with a headset on your face, bumping into furniture and smacking your kid in the face with a controller. Never mind even the fact you're one foot and two eyes + brain into a dystopic fantasy world a'la Cyberpunk. Even the telemetry is already present on your bodily functions, and you're logging into Facebook with it. And note the similarities: It also inspires a faster, more performant GPU that renders at high res and high FPS.
Meanwhile the only constant growth market is games and gaming itself. The content, before the hardware. In fact, put the hardware in people's hands, and you have a new growth market (smartphones). Let them pay extra to 'play the game', and its dead.
