The amount of filler and garbage that AI is about to bring to gaming must make the Microsoft execs swell with excitement. Anime games are especially about to explode in saturation because of this but I expect Microsoft/EA/Ubisoft to take AI generated crap games to the stratosphere.
The automation of the industrial revolution destroyed the jobs of tailors, shoemakers, and other skilled craftsmen and artisans and replaced them with less skilled low wage factory workers.
The real tragedy though here is automation does not replace the soul that is put into handcrafted work. Before the industrial revolution, everywhere in the world people dressed dramatically differently. Regional clothing was replaced by cheap shirts made in a factory on a different side of the planet.
AI may not repeat history, but it may rhyme.
It may also enable smaller studios to increase the scope of their projects. If mid range studios can make AAA scale projects and indie studios make mid range it may enable an explosion of large auteur games.
You know that's never going to happen.
The people who use AI aren't the kinds of people to bring any creative or unique ideas to life in the first place. It literally only ever brings in more spam and garbage to an already oversaturated market.
Same reason why NFTs have never contributed to anything creative or interesting. The only people it attracts are scammers, spammers, and the creatively bankrupt, because that's who it's for.
Why do you think indie games on Steam are 99.9% asset flips and shovelware garbage? It's because they're cheap and easy to make. The only thing you're asking for when you push for AI to make games, is more low quality trash.
