I grew up playing flash games on sites like miniclips or addictinggames.

IMO there's no strong reason why games should or shouldn't be created using AI (entirely or even partially). There's a few software companies after this space but I think the issue you run into is monetization -- I'm probably never going to pay to play a flash game equivalent, and im pretty confident that's the majority of people which leaves ads and microtransactions as the dominating paths to profitability.

I did too, and I'm pretty sure you're right... it won't be a profitable venture itself... but if you make a few games and keep players then perhaps you can sell that side to others as a development 'studio'

Or just be in it for the love of the game.. :)
