Are MMOs DYING!?...or are we just expecting too much?

AI will reduce the cost of development of these types of games enough that someone will make a good one for those seeking challenge and gameplay, right now it costs millions but as AI advances and can produce HQ assets and such the teams developing these games will be able to get really lean to where enthusiast communities will be able to release games that fit their niche.

It will compose the music, sound effects and graphical assets, so really you will need few developers familiar with using a good engine to produce decent games.

For example this is an AI song:

It's good enough for a game if you ask me, and its free to use. It will only get better from today.

In fact, as hated as the opinion may be CBUIII should use AI to design armor sets for those times where they don't have the time to manually build the sets themselves. Instead of gee... IDK, reusing the same assets over and over again with a different color.

I mean the problem with FF14 right now isn't even close to being how many assets they can pump out when the entire game is style over substance.

AI isn't going to magically turn artists into programmers and battle content designers. AI isn't going to solve how generic and stale everything in the game is; if anything it'll just make it worse.

Sure, AI can help an indie game dev out, you're not wrong. But the AAA studios pumping out soulless, derivative, stale bugfests are not going to be helped by AI at all. They're already making AI-tier generic slop, how will AI make that any better lol

What's the point of having ten times the graphical assets or music if they are still stuck with the same understaffed content designers team who have to pump out fights with copy-pasted mechanics to meet their deadline.

I know a lot of people in this game just want more content, and will be happy if they just made 5 dungeons and 20 raids a patch even if those dungeons are just copy-pasted linear corridors. Sure, AI can help with that probably. I would not think of FF14 as a better game if that happens. If anything it'll make think even lower of this game.
