A developer who can build a game by hand in 24 hours could probably build and publish something very polished and professional on Steam within 3 days using LLMs, which leads to some kind of software Fermi paradox: where are all the games??

If they're like me, they finish something and then sit on it for a variety of anxiety inducing reasons. I've got a state chart library I'm sitting on that I'm quite hesitant to share...

Given that it's human directed AI slop, they'll be feeding on themselves.
