"AI is an iron man suit, not a replacement": taste and 1000s of iterations make great games
TAbrodi · x · 2026-10-25
A widely shared take: AI is "an iron man suit, not a replacement" — a creator's taste and craft matter more than ever. The author argues the timeline's obsession with one-shotting everything misses the point; the magic comes from creators with a vision iterating thousands of times. Citing favorite solo-vision games (RimWorld, Terraria, Oxygen Not Included, Minecraft, Noita), he hopes AI lets more people build such games without spending a decade or compromising their imagination.
