Is AI Going To Destroy The Indie Game Industry?

AI is like a super-smart helper that can do tasks really fast, but it doesn’t mean it will take over everything.

Imagine you're making toys in your garage. You use clay to shape them, paint them with colors, and put little stickers on them. That's what indie game makers do, they create games from scratch, like building a toy with their own hands.

Now imagine AI is like a robot that can copy your toys really fast. It sees how you make the clay toys and makes its own version in seconds. That’s what happens when big companies use AI to make games quickly and sell them for less money.

But just because the robot can copy your toy, it doesn’t mean it will destroy your whole garage. You still have your special way of making toys, maybe you add batteries or a light-up sticker that no one else has. Indie game makers are like artists who make something unique, even if AI helps others copy faster.

So AI might change how games are made, but it won’t destroy the joy of creating games by hand. AI is like a super-smart helper that can do tasks really fast, but it doesn’t mean it will take over everything.
