A parent says their 8-year-old has become a solo AI-assisted game developer using Grok Build.
- The child started with one simple game, then iterated into several clones and even built a Mac/iPhone emulator to bundle the games together.
- They also wired up local AI models and TTS so the in-game bots can be talked to through the MacBook microphone.
- The post frames it as the kid discovering the project direction step by step, with siblings joining in to play and build.
