 Now that we have AI, the most expensive part of building an MMORPG will be done by AI.  So instead of having 3 developers and 20 artists, there will be 3 developers and 2 AI operators.

 art has always been the bane of my gamedev existence. I was buying art from gamedev art markets. Now i can just generate it and tailor it to my game. Still waiting for a low poly ai model generator though.

 I'm guessing these kinds of things are being built somewhere. First commerically but eventually in open source.

I've always been interested in the game mechanics side of things. Like having a 'recognition' skill and that floating name over people's heads might be wrong if you don't recognize them... or if they run off screen and come back you don't even realize it is the same person, and a disguise skill.  Or an amulet that records and reports murders and auto-updates your guilds standing against other guilds. Shit like that. I'm barely getting started. I have 129 git repos of private game development stuff.
