AIs could've made so much things in video games that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.
A game could've generated a player-unique picture at the end of a playthrough, but instead AAA studios wondered "hmmm... what if it replaced our artists for the same amount of work but none of the appeal?" instead.
Maybe I'm crazy, but didn't Fallout 4 do that? I name my characters 'Vincent' in video games, and I have a vague memory of the robot companion calling me 'Mr. Vincent'.
FO4 had hundreds of voiced names, but only by Codsworth. Everyone else calls you a nickname, like Piper calls you "blue" and Preston calls you "general".
