It’s an initial proof-of-concept. It’ll be developed into more complex games eventually, that’s not really an issue for it
The main issue is that it’s just a facade. It completely lacks the foundation required for a game. It’s a world without hard rules, which is a terrible experience for any user. The game isn’t determining cause and effect from actions. It’s just guessing at what would come next
What’s the point of decorating an in-game house if the next time you go there, the AI forgot what was supposed to be there?
What’s the point of completing quests if the AI forgets what you’ve completed?
What’s the point of getting new gear if AI hallucinates what gear you have?
There is no progress in an AI generated game because everything is made up as it goes. Google would need to fundamentally change their approach to allow for that

Except it is an issue, just one being masked by the mountains of cash these companies are burning to provide AI. To increase the depth and complexity and actually store state would require orders of magnitude more energy, compute, memory and storage. The AI bubble is causing very single one of those to become more expensive. At some point the market will call bullshit on these companies (“show us profit, or at least exponential revenue growth, or line go down”), at which point these companies will attempt to download the costs onto their users. When people see the bill and realize what these services actually cost, the whole thing is gonna collapse like a flan in a cupboard.
