Masahiro Sakurai Criticizes AI-Generated Video Games as Derivative
Super Smash Bros. and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai told Japanese outlet Denfaminico Gamer that AI is being used to rapidly produce video games at the cost of originality and quality. He pointed to the roughly 19,000 games added to Steam annually, predicting that number will keep growing as AI tools make it easier to mass-produce titles that copy existing game systems.
