Sounds like they’re using AI to help:

the modders are also using an early version of RTX Remix to add extra model detail (through Valve's Hammer editor) and rework materials with physical-based rendering properties.

I’m curious how much effort the tools remove

From what I've seen the RTX Remix tool has some AI for texture upscaling and assigning materials but a lot of stuff (like making higher resolution models) still has to be done by hand.
