++. I find it kinda baffling that people assume that the ideal endgame is "AI makes whatever the user wants". What I want is to have interesting novel experiences crafted by talented people. I have no interest in playing a randomly-generated composite of a bunch of existing games. What would be the point?

Think of human DJs vs TikTok algorithms. In general, people prefer algorithmic DJs. The AI game dev may watch thousands of metrics - pupil dilation, linger time, interaction - then generate personalized games on the fly. Swipe for a new game, linger in the game for more than 5 seconds, AI generates a slightly better game. If the TikTok algorithms with human videos can addict a child in 20 minutes, then an AI game algorithm with AI generated images will presumably addict us even faster.

Until we see this happening in AI generated literature, text being the native realm of the LLM, there isn't remotely any reason to worry about such hypothetical fantasy scenarios.
