Game designer Yoko Taro worries AI might replace game makers within 50 years. He shared his views in a Famitsu magazine talk with fellow creators Kotaro Uchikoshi and Jiro Ishii. The group discussed how fast AI grows and what this means for creative fields.
Uchikoshi fears AI adventure games might become the norm. Taro agrees that game creators could lose their jobs as technology advances. He thinks future game creators might be viewed like old-time bards who performed stories. Players might ask AI to make games instead of playing ones made by humans.
AI systems could learn what players enjoy and create stories with paths that match those preferences. These systems will keep getting better at making recommendations. Many creators feel nervous about these changes happening in their field. Despite these fears, creative humans will likely stay important because they can make truly new ideas that AI cannot match.
