I didn't say I believe it can do game dev. I just have deeper insight into VFX. From what I've heard about games, the industry is also suffering more from factors other than ai, but ai marketers and hypers are happy to take credit for an industry suffering.

I've seen impressive demos for ai animation and modeling, but there's a wide gulf between creating an impressive demo and replacing artists who can synthesize notes, industry knowledge and techniques, company and project-specific pipelines, workflows, and tools, and output something without visible flaws that, in the case of games, factors in hardware and software limitations. And to do that for less than an already underpaid workforce. As Cory Doctrow says, ai cannot do your job, the ai-salesmen just have to convince your boss it can.

I think the tools will eventually find-cost effective ways to support production, but I maintain I don't see it replacing these industries, and saying so is carrying a torch for ai marketers.
