For decades universities and researchers around the world have spent countless hours to achieve the holy grail of programming: codeless programs. Many tools, going all the way back when with CASE [wikipedia.org], claim to have done this, but few have achieved success. A workshop in Bundaberg Queensland has children making games [abc.net.au] with AI by speaking.

Mr Quarrell said with creativity the main driver of game design, AI made it accessible to everyone.

The idea started with Mr Quarrell's 16-year-old son, Oscar, who cannot read or write — but was able to talk to AI.

"The AI didn't stop. It didn't get confused. It took everything that Oscar had said as a prompt and it filtered through all of these 'ums' and 'ahs' and it got the core substance from it and it created something," Mr Quarrell said.

"We've removed the need for reading and writing and we've just allowed his imagination to be captured."
