I am pretty sure UE5 has a lot of AI tools. And the forest was an example. AI can take tedious work and fill scenes with unomportant background details while humans focus on the stuff that is actually important for the game.

Yeah, it almost certainly does at this point, but I think the forest thing was before AI got nowhere near where it is now. But yeah, AI can definitely assist in a lot of that work - just need to be careful to not use AI where more traditional methods would be a better choice.

"just need to be careful to not use AI where more traditional methods would be a better choice"

Yeah, this danger always exists. As a comparison - when CGI became a thing where was a race to replace all practical effects with CGI. But while you can CGI things you cannot create with practical effects, practical effects still have some looks and certain reality to it that is hard to replicate with CGI. New technology should expand and augment existing tech, not just simply replacing it.
