I don't see any acknowledgement in that text.
With #[non_exhaustive], adding a variant is not a breaking change, but only if that variant can safely be ignored. If it can't be, then it's still a breaking change, BUT you don't get a compiler error. That's a very big drawback IMO.
This makes me think of how the PNG format handles this. For context, PNG files consist of a list of chunks of different types (image data, color profile, text comment, etc). Each chunk has some flag bits that tell you whether it can be safely ignored when decoding the image, safely retained when the image data is changed, etc. That way the decoder can ignore unknown ignorable chunks and error on unknown non-ignorable ones.

AI-generated fake footage in medical science is one of the things that worries me a lot these days. Now there's practically a constant stream of papers getting retracted due to fake AI-generated microscopy, before/after photos, plots(!), ...
Although I don't see AI in game art becoming accepted by the wider public any time soon, and definitely not by the indie crowd.
I've also been thinking about this for animation. I foresee cheap limited animation (sliding layers, only mouth moving, etc) being replaced by incoherent un-/barely edited AI output instead.
