Yeah but i wouldnt have a problem with you disagreeing with me about those claims, but I would appreciate you met me halfway and showed me that in the area we agree that you don't also disagree.
We both agree that people can learn to make video games via ChatGPT, youtube, etc. I apologize if you thought I was saying something else. Is there anything else you think we should meet halfway on?

You keep doubling down that im wrong about someone apt being able to build EQ right now by themselves with AI with no prior experience.
When you say things like this:

Ai fits into this scenario because in the videos OP posted, someone with ZERO experience making games, managed to build a functioning doom executable.

Ai helped him write code he didnt know how to write. Ai helped tell him where to put stuff he didn't know where to put it. Ai tells you create accounts, and register to download all the programs you need to build something.
It sounds like you are saying a newbie can use AI to generate a significant portion of the code needed to create an Everquest-style MMO. Maybe that is not your intent, but that is how I read it. I disagree with this idea.

Well for one I am assuming this is a late night kids are asleep hobby project. And I also am imaginging building a smaller but comperable version of everquest, you could have that working in a year or 2 with trial, error, learning, and building, all with AI being your CORE educator and co-worker.

I and AI would suggest, hiring people on fiver, reaching out to reddit communities, etc to accomplish this goal, because that would all be a part of any hobby project like this.

I am not arguing that you will ever be able to say, "alexa, make me everquest" and it would just do it. (though I am personally confident that is an inevitable future, just dont know how long it will take at all, could be 10 years, could be 10,000 because we nuke ourselves back to the stone age).
It would take years for an experienced programmer to solo write an Everquest-Style MMO from scratch if they only worked on it like 2-3 hours a day as a hobby project, even with AI and some part time assistants from Reddit or where-ever else.

Now I don't know what you mean by a "smaller version" of Everquest, so maybe you can elaborate. If you just mean less zones, that doesn't reduce the programming workload, as all of the game mechanics would still need to be in place. If you cut game mechanics, there is a point at which you can say it isn't Everquest anymore.
