Netflix Games feels generative AI will completely reshape game development–but stopped short of explaining exactly how.

      The Netflix exec talking about how generative AI is going to create “mindblowing experiences” reminds me of a Mondelez Executive for the Oreos brand talking about a slight tweak to the Oreos product line with a new line of Oreos, how it was going to “take snacking to a new unbelievable level”. The reality was a slightly different Oreo cookie that helped increase obesity rates, with the same shit.

      This is even worse, because most people see through all the AI slop, what we’ll get are cheap ass AI produced mobile game clones, and this guy’s talking about them being “mindblowing experiences”. In reality, if you go out and get some sunlight and touch grass, you’re getting a far more rich experience.
