build bespoke games, made for each individual gamer, from a prompt. Think: the Holodeck from Star Trek. Every single person playing a game tailored for their tastes.

Some people will gravitate towards co-op or MMO experiences, so AI will build beautiful, shared worlds and games for those people,

tailored to their needs and skill levels.

Devs will tweak the models continuously, tightening gameplay loops and helping balance gameplay. Signature artists and musicians will produce more and more of their craft to help the AI dial in their style and make it
