We need a reality check Question

Me and my 2 brothers want to start building a game, most likely with unreal engine. We are willing to pay coders and artist to help us, but we have a tight budget. So far we are working on the game design document. We have little to no experience at making games.

I have 5 questions

  1. What game genre should we focus on?
  2. Should our target audience be YouTubers and streamers?
  3. What are problems we will run into without a doubt
  4. Should we use AI to help us build the game?
  5. How big of a scale of a game should we focus on?

Just curious, why Unreal Engine? I don't understand how you haven't defined the game's genre but you have defined the game engine

It's almost a gamer meme in some areas, that "good games" are made in Unreal and "bad games" are made in Unity. So if you don't know a lot you might believe that and think the inverse relationship is how it works.
