I’m more excited about what comes beyond 2030, once AGI is in place and adopted by game companies. Imagine if you will, a Game Master AI, but not one like AI Dungeon. Something more akin to procedural generation, like how Minecraft generates worlds. You tell the AI what sort of adventure you want to go on, and it just builds that for you. Zombie apocalypse? Star Wars? Wild West? Cyberpunk? D&D? Steampunk? Want to just fly around as a wasp and sting people? The AI builds a game around what you feel like doing, and uses what it has learned about to to maximize your enjoyment without burnout. Maybe you just finished combat with some kobolds and the sun is setting. You tell the AI “I want to do a little fishing while I’m here and watch the sun go down.”, so it swaps out the combat mechanics for some fishing mechanics right there. Remember that scene from “Her” where they make a song together? Imagine that, but with games. That is the day I hope to see.

I was hoping someone would make it look like the cat’s back paws were front paws playing piano, and the rest of the body was one really long neck.
