A full game made from AI without an engine. Tim Sweeney is not amused.

I agree with you to a point. I can't make a computer create a full game on its own. I still need to be there to control it. The reason why it excites me, is because I want to be the one controlling it.
Yes. Fundamentally, AI can't do an end-run around The Halting Problem, and constructing a game at will or as you play it is simply impossible. But, it can make your life easier if you ask it simple questions.
Yeah, AI only works if you already know how to design and how to use AI. Otherwise it's not that great.
Not to mention, how do you actually maintain code if you want to fix anything if you don't know how it was built or how it works?
Ok, that gets into an interesting subject. We were using electric generators before we knew how they worked. Heck, we didn't even know what electricity really was. It worked and did specific things, and that's all we knew.
It's the computer engineer vs the Computer scientist weirdness. If a computer scientist was given an alien computer, they would study it until they could understand it and then do basic tests to slowly figure out how it worked. The engineer would try to install Doom on it.
