There will be, just like there are a bunch of games that use NFTs. Will anyone play them or interact with them? Probably not.

Sadly, if large studios and popular IPs use it. A lot of people will still give them money for it.

Use AI at all: They already have, and most indies too, very minor AI usage is already a thing in most game studios workflow and has been for a long while (that doesn't mean we shouldn't push back against irresponsible AI usage, such as using it for non-procedural production assets, or more than a couple lines of code at a time).

"Made purely with generative AI": Debatable that they could get something that compiled, if they could it would be too bad for anything that isn't a scam to ship, just like NFTs.
