Super Smash Bros creator slams AI-generated games

Masahiro Sakurai, creator of Super Smash Bros and Kirby, said in an interview with Denfaminico Gamer that AI speeds up game production at the cost of quality and originality. He estimated that of roughly 19,000 games added to Steam in a year, most will be "unprofitable" and built from systems lifted from existing titles.

• Sakurai: about 19,000 games hit Steam in a year, and AI will push that higher
• He called most AI-made titles "unprofitable" and hard to tell apart
• AI can imitate existing games but cannot produce true originality, he said
