AI Can Generate 3D but Can't Build GTA6: Industry Weighs AI's Limits in Game Dev
rms80 · x · 2026-10-13
A discussion on AI and game development:
- @pvncher notes AI models have gotten incredible at 3D, but warns against mistaking that capability as anywhere near enough to create a full, original game worth playing. There's a big difference between having hundreds of agents build a city and building everything you can experience in GTA6.
- @nikitabier remarks on the irony of the most expensive game ever ($2B) dropping the same month AI models became capable of creating comparable experiences — calling it "the swan song for the Big Studio Era."
Core point: a large gap remains between AI's 3D asset generation and full game experiences.
