It&amp;#x27;s impressive as a tech demo that you can prompt an AI to make a website for you, but otherwise I don&amp;#x27;t think this is going to be disruptive to the web design industry since it&amp;#x27;s already pretty easy to make a website using a drag-and-drop builder like Squarespace or Webflow.  Granted, it can get complex when you add certain special features on these platforms, but same goes for an AI-generated website.  AI doesn&amp;#x27;t eliminate the complexity, it just hides it.  At best it&amp;#x27;ll get you maybe 80% of where you want to go and you can get to the remaining 20% by hand.  At worst, the complexity is so thoroughly hidden that addressing it isn&amp;#x27;t an option.  It simply does not allow you to manually edit the outputs, or makes it unreasonably difficult to do so.&lt;p&gt;In that same vein, an AI game maker is pretty impressive as a tech demo, but I feel like it isn&amp;#x27;t a huge improvement over a code-light game maker.  You&amp;#x27;re not eliminating the complexity of making a game, just hiding it.&lt;p&gt;Nonetheless, it&amp;#x27;s a pretty interesting tech demo.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>stubish</author><text>&amp;gt; haven&amp;#x27;t seen it do something that isn&amp;#x27;t already possible using a &amp;quot;not-intelligent&amp;quot; solution&lt;p&gt;This is dismissing time and resources. I think things like this game maker project are &lt;i&gt;extremely&lt;/i&gt; impressive, because it enables an individual to do in hours what it would take a team to do in months. Just &amp;#x27;5 different cats&amp;#x27; is impressive, because most game studios would just do one and repeat it, because their time is limited.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t know if this experiment will end up producing &amp;#x27;real&amp;#x27; games, probably not by most people&amp;#x27;s definitions. But I can see it being used as an amazing toy by individuals, such as kids. Generating a custom game in hours, much like they can already do in months or years using other products like RPGMaker.</text></comment>
