Tools like Project Genie could genuinely help here, saving developers time they’d otherwise spend in the early stages of the game, before level design is locked in.

But in that way, AI is the solution to an artificial problem that should’ve been solved without it; for all that matters, devs could still find a way to balloon productions out of control even with Project Genie and a hundred other generative AI models at the helm.

The more likely end result is that devs will find it so easy to start something that they’ll start 100 projects, or try 100 different ideas, but be completely unable to lock on and focus on any one, because there’s always a greener grass a single prompt away.
