alt Hacker NewsFeel like eventually ai will get so good people will just autogenerate games just for themselves. Same for movies/shows/etc.

It's basically a drug at that point, you'll be hooked up to the pleasure machine
I know 10 year olds already doing this. It’s great. Remove the barrier to imagining your own games !
Why on earth would anyone watch that nonsense? Who cares if it’s even cohesive. It’s the bedrock of “derivative.”
Ugh I know the answer but it’s just sad. I don’t want all media to become cotton candy.
Already happening on insta and tiktok with genAI stuff, people are creating a lot of funny stuff
Well isn't Roblox kinda this? I play it all the time with my niece and nephew...it sucks, its enshittification to the max. Part of an entertainment property is you are devoting time to enjoying the creative process of someone who put in the effort to produce something polished and with effort. The end result is the culmination of all the work done (possibly years/decades) to get to that point and you are paying for the result of all that effort. Could a Roblox game be like that? Possibly but the incentives dont seem to be as aligned despite the democratizing force it has had.
I am reminded of a scene from the Jobs movie where they were arguing Open vs Closed systems. This feels similar...
No, I will pirate autogenerated movies/shows/games. Not paying for that sht.
