Delusional thinking, I don’t know a single person that plays video games in order to connect with the creator of the game. They definitely play them to connect with others who play the same game. The only people not playing games due to AI are people who make a political issue out of it and are virtue signaling to their group and a small number of people with a massive chip on their shoulder about automation in media.
Look forward 5 years, whereby the majority of music, art, games are AI generated.
Is there a record amount of people playing video games? People spending hours in front of a computer listening to AI generated music and art?
I am pretty sure the trend will be towards the opposite. The AI fanatics believe that playing a video game is an isolated activity, but is it?
Don't people often play the latest video games (even single player) to belong to a part of a digital society?
Do people play Dark Souls because it is a fun and challenging game? Or do they play it because they want to experience what the wider gaming society experiences, and participate in it?
I quote the MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS: "We can embrace the technological progress that alleviates suffering and unlocks new possibilities, provided that we do not abandon the very essence of our humanity, namely the capacity for relationship and love"

Once anyone can generate any game, movie, or artwork they can imagine with a simple prompt, this shared experience will disappear along with it. The amount of content available will fragment the space so much we'll eventually lose the shared experience and novelty that brings enjoyment and fulfillment from these activities in the first place.
Then why are you sharing this thought and why am I reading it and responding to it? Why are other people reading it as well?
You can generate any thought you can imagine and write it down with a few lines of text but the amount of thoughts available haven’t fragmented the space so much that we lost shared experience of them. If anything it seems like sharing and responding to thoughts is more popular than ever and many are widely read, repeated, responded to and remixed by others.
