I think you are misunderstanding what this tech demo actually is, but I will engage with what I think your gripe is — AI tooling trivializing the skillsets of programmers, artists, and designers. My first games involved hand assembling machine code and turning graph paper

Visual Software Development Approaches Continue to Face Significant Challenges
By
–
There have been countless efforts to make software development “more visual”, but anything that isn’t a simple collection of human (and LLM!) readable text files continues to step on land mines.
