One of the best uses for generative AI will be in video games. And it'll enable indie developers to build much more. Indie developers who, at least initially, will present much higher quality games without all the usual bullshit that comes with AAA studios.
I think for those who enjoy video games, this is going to enable a lot more competition. Great for us players, but the AAA studios can't see past a quarter or two. They merely salivate at laying off tonnes of staff, use AI to push out mediocre brand-related nonsense, while new, smaller indie studios push out far bigger projects than they were ever capable of.
I think we're going to enter into a golden age for a while. Then the Indies will become the new monsters and get greedy and go public and enshittification will happen. But at least there will be a few years or more of some incredible things, things not coming from EA, Paradox, Epic, Bethesda, Ubisoft, etc etc etc
