Thankfully, nothing will ever surpass human creativity and the desire for people to connect with real artists making real art. Maybe the major game studios will fall to the allure of AI, but ethical indie studios will only become more popular and more important to the gaming landscape.

Folks salivating at the thought of not needing to pay anyone which is built upon the greed of already too wealthy individuals. Its an inevitable CEO urge to consume without expense or regard for others and if/when the industry of my favorite hobby dies it will be tragically deserved at this point.
