How I stopped worrying and learned to love AI - Kinda.....

[Zizka]

I recommend watching Design Cinema - Episode 110 - What AI Cannot Do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTj1Y4JW-KI atleast this insight knowledge of someone who as contact and been working in the video game industry for a long time.

Another perspective:

In an annual State of the Game Industry survey conducted by the Game Developers Conference (GDC) for 2024, over 3,000 game developers – ranging from independent developers to those working at larger AAA development studios – were asked whether they were concerned about the lack of ethics in using generative AI in the gaming industry. Of the roughly 3,000 developers surveyed, 84% expressed concern about AI in this facet.

It seems like it *is* a concern for the vast majority of people in the video game industry.

Same article:

One of the biggest concerns in the gaming industry, apart from AI, has been the massive wave of layoffs. Last year was widely viewed as one of the biggest years in gaming history with Baldur’s Gate 3, Hi-Fi Rush, Starfield, Spider-man 2, Lies of P, Final Fantasy XVI, Street Fighter VI, Alan Wake 2, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Armored Core 6, among many other games released in 2023. However, the year was also notable for the number of developers laid off. 2023 saw a staggering 10,000 developers laid off, with January 2024 already reaching half of last year’s layoff totals.

Also, to consider:

In a 2024 New Year’s letter to the industry and shareholders, Square Enix president and representative director Takashi Kiryu wrote that Square Enix’s development studios would be “aggressive in applying AI… to both our content development and our publishing functions.” Kiryu’s New Year’s letter was met with global condemnation by both game developers and the wider gaming community.

NKU students have been especially vocal about the use of AI in game development. Caleb Fidler expressed that the likely reason why corporate heads are pushing AI in game development is to provide a “path of lower overhead” when it comes to reducing budgets on development.

Also, of note:

While it’s true that AI will help more people make video games, it could also lead to a huge glut in the market, and that has caused some problems for the games industry in the past. With AI assistance, it will become even easier for low-effort developers to churn out low-quality, low-price games as a quick scam. This has already been an issue in previous years, with 2017 seeing Valve remove 173 asset flip games from the storefront as reported by Gamesindustry.biz.

A good example of A.I. content dump is those Panasonic 70 videos previously discussed in this thread. Low effort content shat out for public consumption at an alarming rate by untalented, uncreative people for a quick buck. A.I. content devalues everything it touches.

Be wary of A.I. prompters trying to downplay their A.I. overlords. They’re setting up their side of the board.
