How do you know? I've read Slashdot every day since 1997, so I've been following the development of machine learning since at least 2008 and talking people's ear off about it since. I have always expected it to be revolutionary to the point of some semblance of what some call the singularity.

!!! I don't think AI is going to impact game development the way you think it is.
AI is a blanket term for a lot of different technologies that relate to machine learning. They will affect game development in a multitude of ways from assisting coders to produce and manage code more efficiently. They will enable artists to create more detailed assets at a faster rate. They will allow for new forms of generative storytelling not yet seen in mainstream games.
All of these things are currently happening to different degrees across the gaming industry and other forms of content creation.
And all of them would have been applied to Blackbird at some level.
Game engines aren't going anywhere and the first stages of all of this will be iterative until there's a breakthrough revolutionary title -- which will happen. I've seen this process play out over and over again.
You're applying very general comments from Microsoft very specifically. We only have leaks and rumors from biased sources. Actions speak louder than words, and in this case the words are all whispers.
