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?
Yep. They call it indie
First, gaming will go to shit (trajectory has already been put into board computers at corporate the world over), and concurrently, indies will become the new triple A, to turn into shit again, spawning yet another wave of indie. Money and power corrupts, its that simple, so most good things emerge from fresh starts, post-reality-check.
History repeats - and as with everything in life... do your cherry picking proper, and all is well.
Eventually I reckon AI will find its place in content. I'm sure it has a place, as long as it doesn't impede on originality and human talent. So far all things AI produces feel plasticky, and decidedly non-human. Game dialogue doesn't want to sound like someone reading an encyclopedia to you, for example, and we won't accept Microsoft Sam talking to us either.
Yeah, let's do a little exercise.
This search 'engine' is worse than Google sans AI. It doesn't pick up on qualitative words, but presents me a list of the polar opposite of what I'm asking. Nice, real nice. Much advanced, very tech.
The kicker is how X3D's now accelerate the IGP all of a sudden. Integrated > Dedicated. Wow.
Another really cool element here is that you directly see how biased Tom's is. The singular mention of AMD's options is directly followed with negativity and on top of that, incorrect. We have 5x Intel, 1x AMD.
AI is fantastic, for developing prolonged tunnel vision. I'm staying miles away for it for my info gathering and for having fun conversations
