I mean all the major hurdles of making a game aren't really helped much by AI... AI has no training data on complex logic and systems so you gotta do that all yourself. It definitely doesn't get anything visual right really. There isn't large amounts of automated testing you can setup ahead of time for a lot of game-play so the AI can't iterate on it to make something work it'll just be hopeless. The art is also going to all be really derivative plagiarism overly averaged scammy looking stuff. So that's basically an insurmountable hurdle. No unique style.
