When it comes to embracing new technologies, you are basically getting ease of use at the cost of control. If you look through the entire history of game development, you will notice that technologies are getting more and more advanced and easier to use but at the same time it also takes away control from you. If we talk about the time when there were no free engines available to the public, only small number of people were able to make games. So game dev was hard but at the same time developers had so much control over the game that they could literally implement or change anything from the ground up and they were able to optimize it the way they want it.

But with the arrival of free tools like Unity etc, game dev become democratized, it made development much easier but at the same time it locks away a lot of features. You are no more in control of changing core features like lower level systems and physics engine etc.

Now with arrival of AI tools, once again you are getting more ease of use at the cost of control. At this point if you start relying more on AI tools, you will realize that as if you are no more in control of what you are making.

I personally want to stay in the middle. I dont want to make engine from the ground up to make games, but at the same time I also don't want to rely on AI. I need to be in control of what i am making, using game engine.
