Futurist: Coding Has Crossed the Practical Threshold, AI Could Build GTA 6-Grade Games by 2027

DrSingularity argues that Opus 5.5 has pushed AI coding past a "practical usefulness threshold": vibecoded games are now genuinely playable, and token usage is set to explode in the coming months and years.
He reiterates his early-2020s prediction — now gaining wider agreement among futurists — that by 2027 AI will be able to build games of GTA 6 / Cyberpunk 2077 quality and scale. He sees this phase as short-lived: next come photorealistic worlds many times GTA 6's size, NYC-scale replicas generated in hours by thousands of parallel agents, then Full Dive VR via Neuralink-like tech and real-time world creation by thought.
