That's exactly what I did, for a year, after reading The Selfish Gene.
OP likely meant that a Midjourney-level AI can easily generate all the card art.
Obviously, current AIs cannot generate game rulesets because the game feel is an internal phenomenon that cannot be represented in the material domain and therefore AIs cannot train on it.
Get a ChatGPT4 subscription and ask away. It may hallucinate, but it lets you ask questions and immediately clarify points you don't understand. When you get the basic understanding, check it against a more reputable source (e.g. Investopedia?)
Here's an example question (which I obviously made up):
"Hi! I'm about to get a job in finance but I feel that I don't fully understand some of the important concepts, such as compound interest. Can you explain compound interest to me?"
My problem with children and AI is much more practical. My daughter (17) is an artist, and she wanted to begin a career in animation. However, the progress in generative AI (namely Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and now Sora) makes this a dubious idea.
Frankly, as a parent, I have no idea what to advise her.
A disease control consultant for hospitals, nursing homes, etc. Maybe she can convince them to do the basic stuff like polished copper door handles, bow ties, hair length limits, shaved faces, checklists, and all rooms negative pressure with the doors kept shut as much as possible. Maybe they'll get UV figured out by then, but she'd still have to work to keep up with the increasing antibiotic resistance.
A suggestion: the pulse animation would look much better with ease-in / ease-out animation curves instead of the harsh linear curve it's currently using. EaseInOutSine from this cheat sheet would do fine: https://easings.net/
If you'd like to try those easings straight away, you can use this bare-bones rip-off in interactive sandbox [0]. Still basic: animation is symmetrical, so easing "in" has the same easing as "out", just reversed.
Under 2 kB total. HTML, mostly CSS and literally two lines of JS only for restarting the animation.
Sure, you are right about infinite non-interactive CSS animations. And it's true there are simple checkbox:checked or whatever:active hacks for interactivity without JS. But for "click to (re)restart animation" there is no better cross-browser way I am aware of than toggling on some trigger attribute and toggling it off on animation end event, hence the JS.
Ok, so here is variation that contains zero JS and (ab)uses the "invisible_anchor:focus + sibling_anchor_pointing_to_previous_anchor" trick [0]. I'd prefer the original version, though. This is more or less a hack.
On a wider scale, this is Scott Alexander's Moloch -- people who ship an Electron app now would outcompete people who would spend and 3x more on writing native clients for each platform in 3 different languages, and 3x as long to polish the codebase.
Electron is just evolution at work. The OS vendors had decades to fix their system UI frameworks and make it easier to write cross-platform UI applications.
But they didn't because vendor lock-in was always more important to them, and that's how you get Electron. You reap what you sow ;)
Electron has gone a bit overboard with the 'everything but the kitchen sink' philosophy, but the basic idea of a platform-independent application development framework is sound.
