    Good! Fuck the corporate slop. Justifying the use of Ai only in the name of “efficiency” is pathetic and capitalist. Pay artists a proper wage and give them the time needed to apply their craft.

    No artist needs generative “Ai” to create. Only capitalist need it to produce more slop.

    What’s the value here? This is based on the developer saying so and there’s no obligation to do so. Black Ops 6 is loaded with Gen AI, the loading screens are obviously Mid Journey like and some of the actors have been replaced by digital performances which was in the news. They won’t get tagged here for AI because it’s not in the description.

    So basically this is going to just have people filtering out devs who are honest and realistically that’ll just be a few indie devs who had to use these tools because they’re a one man team that can’t afford artists.

    I think we have to face the facts. Every game is going to be using these tools going forward. If you run a large studio and say no one use AI I bet you your artists are still speeding up making base textures. Your music guy is generating some starter melodies. Your writers are drafting up some filler to pad out the supplementary text.

    These tools are as ubiquitous as photoshop (which has had content aware fill all the way back to CS-fucking-5) and unreal engine now (which has added it’s own AI features). The idea that’s there’s only a handful of shady individuals and mega-corps using these tools is naive.

        Traditional art and comics aren’t dead because of mainstream digital, AI will just be extra on the pile for games in the same way.

          Unless people vote with their wallets against AI slop, then it would be always a controversial choice whether to even employ AI.

    The sad part is, one day in the (far) future, when real AI (not LLMs) are an actual thing, and they could code great games from scratch, there would be so much bad animosity towards AI by then that they’ll probably never see their games played.

        Your opinion seems prejudicial, focusing on the creator of the art, and not the art itself.

            Pointing out that someone justifies if they like something or not by who made it, vs by judging the item being made itself, is inflammatory?

            as a trans person, it makes you look like a real silly goose.

            I remember back in the 80’s where people were hating on a Top 40 song because it was made by a group who’s singer was gay, and thought that was very wrong, that the song itself should be judged on its own merits, and not by who was singing it.

            Weird how those lessons learned fade away, needing to be learned again.

                I did mention previously about “in the future”, some day, not today. LLMs are not AI, at least the kind of AI that I’m talking about.

                But even taking your point, do we let a human always keep a job that an AI can do much for efficiently? What job protections should humans have from AIs? And for that matter, what job protections should humans have today, right now, regardless of AI? (For the record, I support Unions.)

                We all need to figure this out, right now, as corporations are salavating at the though of an AI that can replace a human being’s job.

        Potentially. Since we don’t know how any of it works because it doesn’t exist, it’s entirely possible that intelligence requires sentience in order to be recognizable as what we would mean by “intelligence”.

        If the AI considered the work trivial, or it could do it faster or more precisely than a human would also be reasons to desire one.
        Alternatively, we could design them to just enjoy doing what we need. Knowing they were built to like a thing wouldn’t make them not like it. Food is tasty because to motivate me to get the energy I need to live, and knowing that doesn’t lessen my enjoyment.

        Is it? Or is it for companies to not have to pay out salaries so they increase profits for AI-generated work, regardless if the AI is sentient or not?

          This post is unsettling. While LLMs definitely aren’t reasoning entities, the point is absolutely bang on…

      Once they actually produce great games, you’ll probably want to play them. People didn’t stop buying products because they were made by machines instead of artisans.

            I believe we should be able to embrace new technology and peoples lives should be made easier with it. We should be able to eliminate jobs and simultaneously ease financial burden with the efficiency increase. But i don’t have an MBA so what do i know 🤷‍♂️

            Yes but writing gcode for a CNC machine isnt taking the creativity from the human. Even programs that write the gcode for you are still following the design of the human. AI generated art does not follow the human design, it generates its own.*

            *Obviously other than art theft which i think doesnt count.

        Well, there are those who like throwing the sabo’s into the machinery, so you’re not guaranteed people would ignore the AI creation nature of the great game, when deciding to buy/play the great game. You’re already seeing a constant “No AI here!” mindset occuring.

        But at some point, AI will be creating, especially if Capitalism can see it succeed and remove the need to pay for workers. We need to think about job-protecting laws today that are just and even-handed, and not just trying to stiff-hand AI creation, as that won’t work long term.

          I think what we need to protect is the quality of life rather than the jobs. I wish for a 20h work week at the same QoL.

            I wouldn’t disagree with that. Today’s reality is that you need a job to obtain a QoL (aka ‘pay the bills’). If we could get to a place as a species to where three/four day work weeks were the norm, that would be fine by me.

            I’m assuming that at some point in our species future we’ll be in a Post-scarcity place, and jobs as we know them now won’t be needed. Instead people will have ‘hobbies’ that they enjoy doing. That’s assuming the Morlocks don’t eat all the Eloi before the Post-scarcity occurs, that is.

            Agreed. We’re going to need laws for that though, and right now Congress only listens to Corporations, and Corporations want AI to get rid of those pesky workers that drain away their profits.

            But also, you gotta understand that at some point, for some things, AI will be better than humans for particular jobs. When that happens, what then? Force-keep the human on the job, or retrain them, or just tell them “sucks to be you have a nice day” and show them the door, or something else???

            This is really the beginning of a monumental time for the species, as big as the introduction of the Internet was. Better start figuring this shit out now, instead of (metaphorically) just covering our ears and yelling “LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! I CAN’T HEAR YOU!” trying to ignore the whole thing.
