Early work in games meant assembling machine code by hand and converting characters on graph paper into hexadecimals. Technological advancements have rendered that process as obsolete as maintaining ancient carriage wheels.
Advancements in power tools have driven computing progress. Game engines have expanded participation in game development even as they shifted focus away from the traditional system engineering that once held a special place.
AI tools can elevate top talent while enabling smaller teams and entirely new creative groups to achieve more.
Although a future may arrive where a single prompt produces an interactive game, novel, or movie, it is expected that dedicated teams will continue to create superior examples of these mediums.
Content will become exponentially more abundant and affordable. As for the future of game development jobs, it remains uncertain.
It might evolve like farming—with technology reducing the needed workforce drastically—or, like social media, where creative ventures thrive at various scales. Ultimately, dismissing power tools for fear of job loss isn't a sound approach."
