I think having modern game engines reducing the need for game programmers to almost zero caused much of this, but it also resulted in some interesting games when artists could create games without a need to hire programmers.

It will be interesting to see if AI art (and AI 3D models) will mean that we see interesting games instead created by programmers without having to hire any artists.

What I do not look forward to is the predictable spam flood of games created without both artists and programmers.

To be fair, this is already the case on all the platforms, as you can easily put together a game with free assets from the assetstores (or pay a few dollars for pretty high quality assets). For every standard game genre you can imagine I'm sure there are thousands of generic games released every year on every playform (don't have any real numbers but I get that feeling...)

Rendering the assets by AI or buying them from the asset store is not going to change the number of generic games put out there I think, maybe AI gen can make some of them a bit more unique at best.
