I suspect elites will build a two-tiered AI system where only a select few get access to the cutting-edge stuff, while the rest of us get stuck with the leftovers.
They'll use their clout—money, lobbying, and media influence—to lock in their advantage and keep decision-making within their circle.
In the end, this setup would just widen the gap, cementing power imbalances as AI continues to reshape everything. UBI will become the bare minimum to keep the masses sedated.
Definitely possible, but probably not easily. The "easiest" remastering I've seen simply upscales textures to 2K or 4K which provides an inexpensive way to resharpen old games without losing too much of their original look.
For this HL2 RTX mod though, my understanding is they had to add all new lighting sources to hopefully match the original intent, and looks like they remodeled many items and actors too.
