> Will AI games be good? [...] The market will be flooded with garbage, and so per capita games will become worse, even if the absolute number of good games rises.
Funny you use "will be" here, because this is already happening. Have you looked at daily Steam releases lately? It's 90% AI-generated hentai games, asset flips, or AI-generated hentai asset flip games.
Right now the limitations of genAI tech are limiting the types of games that can be pumped out, but Genie is just going to be more of the same; instead of a clearly AI-generated, painfully uninteresting hentai game, you're going to get clearly AI-generated, painfully uninteresting Call of Duty clones. You can ask the developers of Concord, Highguard, Marathon, etc. how successful bland shooters are these days.
I wasn't aware of this, and this is an important comment. I think the imaginations of the people on HN are really turning with what could be possible in principle. In practice, it looks just like you've described; low quality engagement-focused garbage, just like your facebook and youtube feeds.
