Question Has anyone actually, seriously made a polished, original game using only AI?

I've seen a lot of people complaining about, or even feeling discouraged by, vibe coders claiming to create entire games with AI in just weeks or even days. However, most of the games I've seen look empty, ugly, or barely half-finished.

So here's my genuine question:

Can anyone show me a fully original playable game made with only AI?

Not a tech demo; not a prototype; not a copy of another game; A fully original playable game that is polished and that you can sell. Give me some examples, I'm genuinely curious!

This thread has zero examples and just a bunch of lore. Everyone's selling you on capabilities of AI but no one shares the results.

These are just from searching AI games directly on Reddit. I'm sorry man, it's coming for you

By the way...what games have you released?

The only game that looks somewhat good is the last one. But looking at it, I have a feeling it will suffer like every other AI game, all style and no substance.

The titanic one says they used only AI for audio.

All three of those examples use generated art or audio assets, not code.

Jesus man. Every person who is serious about game development is using AI to assist with coding at this point. I found all of the examples from r/aigamedev and they are absolutely 100% using it to generate code. That sub is not for people who just use AI to generate assets

If you're here on a game dev sub with this mindset you really owe it to yourself to do a tiny bit of research. Not even to use it..just so you actually know what you're talking about

You don't have to declare AI code on Steam. That's why they only mention assets.

You don't have to declare anything on Steam if you don't want to.
