We might get a powerful enough model to run "Claude, build me GTA6" before GTA6.

Highly doubt it.

  someday we will have models that can resolve physics to such degree to predict the future with surgical accuracy and when someone says "maybe models will become advanced enough to create a whole other universe from scratch" you will be there saying "highly doubt it"

    This reminds me of a boss I had 20 years ago that said devs were going to be replaced soon. Maybe he was 20 years early or maybe it's not happening now too.

      Please note that I did not imply devs won't exist in my contrived fantasy. Who do you think will be operating those mythological tools?:)

  Hm. Nowadays a lot of games look alike. They use some 3D-Engine and most of the work is in the 3D-modelling and writing some interesting scripts. For modelling and scripting I think we're not far away. A lot of games just reused old historical stories or fiction and a lot of stories feel like cheap soap operas. As soon as an AI can separate the good from the bad scrips it'll be mostly done.

    Clearly you don't work in game development, this comment put a smile on my face. Although I expected a bit more from hacker news crowd

      You overvalue the HN crowd (or undervalue the AI hype-machine) considering you're downvoted and GP is upvoted (Another gamedev here smiling at GP's comment).

        Yet another classic unskilled but unaware of it from the hacker news crowd (another professional gamedev here).

    I'm sure AI will be used in asset generation but it'll be in deployed similarly as procedural generation of mass assets like trees and npcs. I don't yet see it used for characters as they quickly become kind of generic / predictable.

  It's not hard if you just imagine a slop re-skin of any other GTA of similar game.

  Did you miss the sarcasm or has GTA6 become some sort of anomalous memetic agent that makes anyone who tries to work on it not be able to finish it regardless if it's human or AI?

    Both probably, I don't usually understand sarcasm in written text unless it's explicitly stated.
