I'd say that a very large portion of games, that come to market, are almost 100% copies of other games. The whole industry is copying ideas from everyone else. So, yes, an ai is perfect for the job. You need to launch faster than ever, you need to iterate faster than ever, and a machine, that can produce games 24/7 is the wet dream of every game studio. Of course the games will be shit, but the most successful ones already are, just look at the charts in the (mobile) app stores.

I think AI will do best with already established content - Star Wars for example. An AI can make endless expansions to a Star Wars game, if the game was made so that it could do so.

That's more the future than an AI being made/licensed by EA that creates Madden 2030 from nothing. Changing Madden 2029 into 2030 and updating the jnterface/visuals and making it faster/more streamlined and identifying places to add further content, creating that content, managing that content - all of that an AI system can do.

Yeah, lots of generic copy mobile type games are coming but this is absolutely going to be more than that.
