AI game-making debate: 'AI only speeds up grunt work, the rest takes talent'
AIandDesign · x · 2026-11-08
An AI design commentator endorses a viral take on AI game creation: making a good game is very hard with or without AI. AI may speed up the grunt work, but that's all it can do—for now. The original author argues that being technically able to make a game doesn't mean you're good at design, story, art, pacing, and mechanics; beyond a point, real talent is required—unless your journey is just copying other people's work.
