Really? Show me one major game being developed by AI and not people. Show me one major game that even plans to do this in the next 5 years. Show me one game that utilizes a 4090 outside of just cranking resolution. All "next gen" games are still playable on a 2050 GPU. 

Development costs are not dropping. You're delusional if you think that is what's happening now. If they were maybe you ought to send Sony/Insomniac and all these other studios the memo, because apparently that isn't the reality of what's going on. 

Nvidia stock is high not because of AI for game development (lol) it's because of stupid basic photos it can generate and even that they are very crude still and the AI cannot yet understand specific commands. People are investing because they think maybe in 10 years this might be the next internet. It is still years, probably even decades away from being able to be used in a way where you can just tell it "make me a Mario game with XYZ and I want the texture in this level to like like this, and Mario to have these physics" etc. etc. etc. etc. 

DLSS is AI....  so there are a bunch of examples.  

Necessity is the mother of invention.  

There is a necessity to reduce development costs, thus invention is coming.

This is how all markets work.  Just look at electric cars, doing things people didn't think were possible 10 years ago.  

DLSS doesn't change development cost, it's not an AI "developing something". 

If AI can eventually make games, why the fuck would I ever even bother waiting for a developer to make me a game (let alone pay them $70)? I'd just tell the AI to build me the game specifically that I want. It is probably decades away from that, but if it can actually develop games (which would actually reduce cost) that's a zero sum game for the video game industry because people will just start asking the AI to make them games and bypass developers entirely.

AI is not going to make Square-Enix's troubles go away any time soon either way. They can't spend that much more on their games than they are now. FF7 Rebirth is already "epic" enough, they can cap it there and make games much more smartly going forward for the next decade using that same base.
