  Yet the creatives don't get into gamedev if they didn't have to spend any effort to make their art
The art will just change. The bar will be raised. What is considered as good art in 2021 is different in 2026.

In math, the speed and innovation will increase. The bar will be raised. Those mathematicians who do not want to be part of this new world will quit and go do something else, just like how some software devs have done so since AI agents. But not all will quit.

Problem: they will need to have access to huge Machine Learning and inference hardware for maths specific models.

It won't be for all mathematicians, only those willing to deal with the "recipies" of ML, and those "granted" access to such hardware because a not very common resource.

I'm actually really excited about AI driven Gamedev. Imagine the next generation of Skyrim where rather than picking prewritten dialog options you can have natural conversations with NPCs.

Where rather than the - necessarily limited - set of predesigned outfit/equipment/face combinations each characters appearance can adjust to what happened to them. Their outfit changes with their commercial status, fights leave scars, having experienced tragedy leaves a haunted look.

Where rather than premodelled dungeons the world shapes around me to tell a story.

Gamedesign would change - and game artists would change from making 3D meshes, textures and animations to being authors of storylines and styles.

And of course those dialogs would be uploaded to the cloud and sold. Can't wait

Having experienced LLM driven gamedev, I watch the movement with utter disdain. I recommend you to do the same, to actually play the products of such endeavor that you bought with your own money, for more than a dozen minutes.

Ain’t that the truth… I’ve been slowly realizing I care very little for development when its done by AI. My main hobby, the one thing I’ve been doing since I was 13, is now as unsatisfying as it can be. Even aiming for more complicated projects I couldn’t have done before doesn’t feel satisfying

No man everything is about money and business. You don't need to be happy if your KPIs go up what are you talking about.

These people are robots.
