I don't fully agree with that, all the advantages of big studios that you described above have already existed for a long time even without AI, yet the indie game dev market is huge, from solo devs to small teams, because not everyone likes AAA games. They might dominate in market share (I don't know the actual numbers) but there's still a place to make a ton of money as an indie dev.

The AI they are already using won’t just do code completion or even just write the code for the games, but direct & produce them, write the story lines, provide artists with starter ideas (both visual and audio artists), and provide smarter chattier responses for, say, non-player actors and adaptive generative scenery. And it’s super efficient, too, taking the effort levels from 1-2 years with 100s of people down to months (also with 100s of people).

Upshot: we should see a lot more games soon (yeah!) and potentially with higher quality.

Downside: big game companies like this are no longer profitable, and so must make their workplace more efficient.
