Ubisoft Is Jumping Into AI

[64K]

It seems like almost every day that I'm reading about another large company embracing AI for the future in hopes of replacing humans in certain jobs to improve profitability. Ubisoft seems to be jumping in with both feet.

"As the world adopts Generative AI at a record pace, GDC 2023 demonstrated its immense potential to profoundly transform creative industries," Ubisoft said.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot echoed that statement In comments during an investors call, saying that he expects the use of LLMs—large language models (opens in new tab), a type of AI algorithm—will continue to grow on the creative side of game development and also help improve the company's "workflow" overall. Going even further, he predicted that the growth of AI will make it easier for gamers "to actually be a part of of the creation of events and contents" in the games they play, apparently suggesting that at some point you'll be able to just tell the AI your idea for a mod, and it will make the mod.

Ubisoft's latest financial report cited the power of generative AI technology on "creativity, workflows, and players’ experience."

AI is rolling into business like a freight train on overdrive. I predict we might see a forum or subforum on AI and it's impact on the tech sector on this site one day.

On the one hand I think most AAA games today are soulless monstrosities anyway so sure just have an "AI" crank out endless Assassins Creeds and Call of Duties for all I care. Whatever. On the other hand writers and all sorts of creatives and engineers will be out of jobs, which will be sad, but a part of me am interested in seeing how the world will react to this. Will those people start to make good games again, unburdened by the corporate bean counters?

Normal. AI has the following advantages: 1. Smarter than 99.99999% of programmers.
2. It is not lazy.
3. It doesn't get tired or sleepy, so it outperforms even non-lazy programmers.
4. Its database with instant access to information that cannot fit in thousands of brains, and programmers have at most one brain anyway.

Smarter =/= creative.

Sadly the smart people so called have literally ruined almost every franchise.

Yeah, I'm curious, is there any scientific research on what percentage of programmers are creative? By the way, the question of whether AI lacks creativity is quite debatable.

AI can never be any more intelligent than a human because it is a human that created it, it can merely do things faster since it operates non organically.
Another reason why chat GPT for example goes rogue is because it mirrors humans...

I didn't see valid reasons which stop AI to be more intelligent than it's creators.

No it's not a thing, a person cannot create something more intelligent than it's self, something non organic cannot evolve from us since it is not us, yet is merely prgrammed with the mind of us, it has serious limitations.

Which means using AI would make gaming worse than it is now but for a different reason than now.
The beginning of the downfall.

Example.

It goes rogue because the human mind is limited, and when you only prgram something with a tiny bit of us it's limitations are even more pronounced, selling people a dream and belief is why people will venture in with rose tinted glasses.

Why can't it become more intelligent than a human? What makes human intelligence so unique? Human brains are simply biological computers. As processing power increases, it will eventually exceed organic intelligence. It may even be that we or AI will design biological based computers.

In the sense of evolutionary biology, progeny have been more intelligent than their progenitors, it has happened many times already.

To create something you must be creative.
Ai simply regurgitates.

Take a supercomputer, it is very limited and just to math almost always because math is an area we can advance at a faster rate, but using it for video game design? LOL that don't require math. You first need an organisms emotional side, to dream first.

Yes and it is not within human control, AI is human control, we are not god silly.

Someone wrote lack of brain post in reddit which begune with "My Chat GPT". His? No way!

LLMs are not artificial "intelligence'. Just machine learning with huge amounts of data. A glorified parrot essentially.

Sure they can be useful as a replacement for stack overflow essentially.

What we mainly have here, is hype.

Exactly what I was trying to say with "Regurgitation".

1. Smarter than 99.99999% of programmers.

lol no. I've tried to use the code it produces, it is certainly not. I'd be surprised if it even ranks as good as an absolute novice.

There is nothing stopping humans from making a "smarter than us" AI in concept IMO, but we are a long ways from it.

Sam Altman confirms that OpenAI will not train GPT-5 for the next six months.

I suppose that it is too clever and jump over limits. That's why they postpone. They are just afraid of the results.

It's less complex than that. They are afraid of it's impact on employment, mainly. It can do customer service style roles fine.

They've been using AI of sorts in circuit and silicon design forever, that's really nothing new. The math there is well suited to it.

More intelligent many simply be the result of ‘more complicated’ which AI can certainly be. Stack overflow is filled with examples of chatGPT making math errors

 

[lawood]

They certainly could use AI to generate their open worlds.
Randomly generated AC and Far Cry. The future is here.

(...) a person cannot create something more intelligent than it's self (...)

By that logic how can human intelligence exist, since we all came from single-cell organisms which had very little to offer in terms of intelligence? Hell, my IQ is a good 20 points higher than my father's and yet he created me just fine.

All in all, this is a very human-centric wishful thinking. The more you look into how human brain works the more you see primitive reflexes and simplifications which had to self organize for tens of thousands of years to be usable and yet often still have to fall back to basic instincts to maintain function. Meanwhile a machine learning algorithm can improve substantially in a year:


...and a language model, essentially a realization of the "Chinese room" thought experiment from a few decades ago, can easily trick people into thinking there is actual intelligence behind it.
In other words, what humans achieved in a quarter of a million years, machines will do in twenty. The other thing is, machines are easily expandable and upgradable - something which should be obvious on a technology-oriented forum. You can't add more neurons to your brain, but a sufficiently advanced self-aware AI could easily make itself much smarter.

As for corporations starting to use AI wherever and whenever they can - well, that's exactly how humans wanted the economy to work. Capitalism cares only for the bottom line, humans are expensive, ergo the humans must go. If there will be no consumers for the corporate products, well, the corporations will simply start trading between themselves. Personally I'm curious if I'll live to see a first corporation started and wholly controlled by an AI.

As an antihumanist I would like to be among the first ones to welcome our AI masters which will surely read the Internet to familiarize themselves with their "bags of mostly water" subjects.

 

[thesmokingman]

Too much AI mania going on. Companies slapping AI tags on products screams me too.

What I find oddly timely is that Musk has been critical of Open AI/Page for lack of foresight and care of potential consequences of AI, and bam now Altman is singing the alarm tune. /smh

Tesla has the most advanced AI in zee world. Musk is a founder of Open AI btw.

AI is not an organism.

It's not hard to see how silly your argument is and no your father did not create you at all, his sperm did when it inserted it's self into your mothers egg.

Your father was not inputting data to create you, he just stuck his appendige in your mum and called it a day, no intellect needed, since it is something no one can control.
Everything around you is man made except the Earth, all the animals, the phenomenon that we exist in and ourselves.

We are not god, we cannot do what we have no control over to AI.

Our ideas and mental formulation don't work for a living organism and never have, it's why we are self sabotaging creatures because we are part of nature we are not meant to be around forever, we serve something larger than us.

Fools errand sold by a dream and the ego.

We can pretend what we do in this life will have great effect in the next life, we always do, again it is a delusional ego, it won't serve ourselves forever, we serve what we cannot control or understand, it is beyond our comprehension.

Song about this. Specifically the part, as far as east is from west, and monuments erode and decay.

This is my opinion based on observational things that are real, based on a small segment of time in the never ending vastness of this existence.

We are having an experience on this Earth until we return to wherever we came from, the Earth (Physical) Spiritual is from outside of this Earth, it is not in Earthly man made creation we find truth.
