when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

If AI could make games, or make games get made faster, it would have happened already. There's no way the thing holding it back is humans not asking for things to be done.
The truth is that it's flat out not capable. AI is a grift for CEOs to syphon cash from people they've lied to for magic beans.
