Same reason AI works for game dev. Imagine an army of agents committing workable code into an engine - building the game as it’s played. A truly infinite game.

One reason AI works for code is that most people are just writing the same programs over and over. The elegant solutions to this problem are more abstract languages and more powerful libraries. But maybe AI will be the worse-is-better solution that wins.
