In your scenario, it's not AI who is firing those people, right? Is a human at the top owning the company that decided to do that. That's what I meant by changing the way we run our society.

And no, AI will not be able to create a game from the scratch any time soon, and when it will (maybe long after we die) game development will be completely different, people may not need to code in the way we code, people may just talk to the machine on how the want their game to be, an actual game developer could be someone that knows how to get most out of this AI? Or someone who understand better how a game mechanics work behind the curtains? 

And btw, wouldn't it be awesome to create a GTA-V like game effortlessly? If you stop to contemplate you already create way more complex games a lot easier than what we did 30 years ago that required a team of pro to get super mario working.

Well in some years it might be possible for ai to make games by itself like now chat GPT can write simple programs and code for you.

It will be cool if ai can 'help' game developers and not replace them like the other advances in game development softwares.

Like it took 3 days to make the original flappy bird and now any experienced game developer can make it in 15 minutes.

To get a Flappy Bird clone, those developers just assemble different modules together; they made a lot less.

Well, considering programming language, ai generated stuff ist just one or two steps higher. I bet almost none of the so called game devs could program a game in assembler. Or even something higher like C or even Java. If you look at renpy code for a vn game, that is mostly writing literally what should happen. gpt is something of a compiler then, just like c compiler generates machine code, gpt generates c code

Or combining modules like you said. The hard part of flappy bird is not programming the thing, given the right tools and even whole engines. It is coming up with the concept.

Those are some huge steps. Doing the same as we’ve done in the past makes no rational sense on its own. Secondly, even if AI is one or two steps higher, you still have to explain why that is a good thing. If you ask me, that most developers don’t know Assembly is a bad thing.

I wouldn’t compare GPT to RenPy at all. The latter is still programming, whereas the former is banging your head against a wall. I don’t want people to be dumbfucks. At some point, a line must be drawn.

I did not mean to liken gpt to renpy. I tried to make concept clear that dev of some renpy games does not know  programming, but uses advanced tool to make  game development simple. The "evolution" of prorgamming langueges is to make pseudo code actual code.

This is not even ai related. With advanced engine and language to insctruct engine, you could make flappy birds in  minutes. I thtough that was what you too meant with the modules.
