Yup. AI should be used to automate all of the mundane day-to-day BS, leaving us free to practice art, or poetry, or literature, or study, or just do leisure activities. Because all of the mundane BS is automated, so we don’t need to worry about things like income or where our next meal comes from. But instead, we went down the dystopian capitalist timeline, where we’re automating all of the art so artists are forced to get mundane day-to-day BS jobs.
There’s also Curse of the Moon, which is an homage to the original 8-bit games. It’s not a modern metroidvania, but if you like the older pre-SOTN Castlevania games then you should check them out.
