GoKawiilSakurai says generative AI will flood market with games, most unprofitable
Super Smash Bros. and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai told Denfaminicogamer that generative AI will make it easier to produce games, but most of these AI-assisted titles will fail commercially. He argued that LLMs function as 'stochastic parrots' incapable of creating truly original game concepts, pointing to how the first Super Smash Bros. succeeded by breaking from established fighting-game conventions. A CESA survey cited in the discussion found over 85% of Japanese developers already use some LLM-based tool in their workflow.
