This is actually one thing I've been thinking AI and deepfake tech can potentially do good. Let's say you have an idea and can code.. You have an idea for music but no instrumental talent, so the best you can do is hum it. You can't afford voice actors or other professionals.

Or maybe you're artist with an idea who can storyboard but not code. Maybe you can make 2d designs but not 3D models, or aren't great at animate.

But... there is software that can take what you say and change it to a different voice. It can animate a model to match the words. Similarly, software that could generate instrumental sounds from humming is possible. An AI can generate interactive dialog. It could also provide assistance in the generation of music, debugging of code, and eventually more advanced 3D modeling.

A lot of game design software is much more a GUI to an environment/model and triggers etc than stuff like writing hardcore backend C++ code etc. AI could take that even further.

Then add VR. Drop somebody into a blank-slate where they can create a whole world with a word, a gesture, and a great idea.

One day, that might be a reality.

The creator still needs to know "what" to ask and how the pieces fit.

As a coder, I'm constantly taking whatever AI gives me and rewriting it. AI is just a better lorem Ipsum generator.
