This is not going to age well. in a few years AI will be so ubiquitous there will be no way to participate in the development pipeline with out it. Just embrace it as another tool in your toolbox and exploit it's power. If a game looks and plays like garbage then it will not succeed, same as it ever was.

I suspect it's the opposite. In a few years, LLM and image-based AI-generated content will collapse because it's all funded by smoke and mirrors; there's no actual profit plan, especially since the content made by AI isn't protected by copyright.
(How many studios will release a movie that's in the public domain the moment it hits the screen? How many game devs want their logos and characters to be free for anyone to copy?)
We're seeing a huge amount of it right now because there are lots of free and low-cost AI generators available, but when the venture capitalist firms that were chasing NFTs realize that the general public isn't going to pay as much for AI generation than they do for human-made goods, and in many cases will refuse to pay for them at all, the bubble will burst and all the public AI tools will vanish.
There'll still be plenty of self-hosted LLMs and art generators, but without the power of Google or Microsoft's servers behind them, they won't have anything like the same capacity.
