I recently came across a post from a tech investor who claimed that AI-generated games are going to be amazing. To support this claim, they shared a demo of an AI-generated shooter game. But, honestly, the game looked pretty bad. It made me wonder, can AI really create amazing games?
I think it’s interesting to consider the potential of AI in game development. AI can generate content, like levels or characters, which could save game developers a lot of time and money. But, when it comes to creating an entire game, it’s a different story. Games require a deep understanding of what makes them fun and engaging, which is hard to replicate with AI alone.
That being said, I do think AI can be a useful tool in game development. For example, AI can help with tasks like testing and balancing, which can be time-consuming and tedious for human developers. AI can also help generate ideas or even create entire game prototypes.
But, when it comes to creating a game that’s actually fun and engaging, I think human developers are still necessary. They bring a level of creativity and passion to game development that AI just can’t replicate.
So, while AI-generated games might not be amazing just yet, I do think AI can be a powerful tool in the game development process. And who knows, maybe one day we’ll see an AI-generated game that really does amaze us.
