Shigeru Miyamoto says AI may take over some technical work of making things, leaving individual creative ability more exposed. The Mario creator also warns that enjoying the process can make people mistake their satisfaction for proof that they have made something good.

Miyamoto made the remarks at a press conference after receiving Japan’s Order of Culture, according to Polygon. He compares AI with earlier tools such as word processors, which changed what designers needed to know, and says he remains hopeful that human intention will stay at the heart of creativity. It’s a useful perspective from a veteran creator, not a verdict on what AI will do to games or art.

Discuss: Should AI’s creative value be judged by what people make with it, or by how much of the making they still do themselves?
