If Microsoft-Mossad was a Harry Potter character, they would have entered Ollivander's Wand Shop and come out with a wand that turns everything it touches into a bloated pile of shit. "Pileo crappus!"

That game was fun up until you get to the point where it is pay to win. I got about a week of enjoyment out of it then immediately deleted it from my phone once I hit that point. Glad it's dead.

The tech isn't there yet.

Yet.

I'm not sure LLMs can really handle that level of complexity, including graphical assets and all that crap.

Plus, it needs the seed of creativity that brings something fresh that isn't going to come from an "AI" that regurgitates everything.

Slop will remain slop. I'm not sure LLMs are a pathway to a Trek-esque post-scarcity lifestyle some of these tech bros are dreaming of, but they're interesting none-the-less.
