Humans came in about a third of the way down the list, which was not such a great showing for the crown of creation. But somebody had the imagination to test the efficiency of a human riding a bicycle. Human on the bicycle blew away the condor, all the way off the top of the list.

There is a unique window of opportunity today for a new 3D Creation Engine (aka game engine) to revolutionize the way we create games, film, virtual worlds, and simulations. Unity, Unreal, Roblox and Godot – the predominant 3D engines – are all 15+ year old technologies architected for a different era of computing. The emergence of generative AI, cloud computing, and new spatial platforms is poised to disrupt 3D creation end-to-end.

As the Generative AI Revolution in Games progresses, it will completely reshape User Generated Content (UGC) creating a world where anyone can build games and expanding the games market beyond what many thought was possible. In the coming years, deep technical knowledge or artistic mastery will no longer be essential skills needed to develop games; instead, creators will be limited only by their energy, creativity, and imagination. Ideas won’t be cheap; they’ll be precious.
