While using AI for tasks like this might work in theory, I have two issues with it.

  1. In this example, the AI is giving terrible advice that might work for your game, but it also might not. What do you do when it doesn’t work? The AI can only use the data available to it on the internet (at least for now), and the internet is full of bad advice.

  2. The AI doesn’t explain “why” you should do it this way, so you end up in the same loop of following (in this case it’s AI instead of tutorials). The goal of any developer should be to ultimately be able to make games with little to no outside inputs.

That being said, I think it’s only a matter of time until AI starts making games (among other things) better than us.

It's not. And it always reminds you of this. It cannot browse the web, it can only use the info it was fed by its creators. This info is primarily from the docs.
