How will AI impact games in the upcoming years?

Most "generative" AI is a copyright nightmare in the making, so you won't see large language models being used by large companies much. Marketplaces might outroght ban it like Valve already did and I wouldn't put past mod communities like Nexus doing the same.

That being said, some models might be used instead to aid in animations, photogrammetry, etc. so I hope it makes game development cheaper.

Really all the AI should be used for is for touching up and adding finishing touches to already crafted work from a human, but instead the industry sees it as a cheap get rich quick scheme and a means to employ less staff.

They'll find out quickly that AI shouldn't be abused in this manner via the lacking quality output and worse off output, that is if they continue to openly abuse it the way others are in the art industry. 

I'm amazed ppl think that AI generation is seen as a "grey area", when the reality is, is that those using the AI still need to pay for said content to train from, but not only that, they also ened to comply with existing copyright laws, which in turn would already limit what the Ai could train from without infringing copyright (which has already been made heavily evident that the Ai is already breaking those terms, because it cannot think for itself, let alone outside the box yet).
