I would give my opinion on gen AI in games but I can’t post it unless Sam’s on the show.
OOOOOOOOhhhh????
I’m very much against gen AI, in games and in general. I can understand NPC dialogue in an MMO, if that isn’t taking away a job from a writer. Even then, the cost to the environment in how much energy data centers needs and how much water they waste is too high. We need to be finding ways to mitigate climate change, not make it worse. Again, advances in renewable energy could make Gen AI less of a hazard.
If it is being used to help ease the stress and fatigue I am fine with it.
I think it will be a helpful tool in the long run at helping to improve concept to finish product time. I just feel like right too many companies are using it as a replacement instead of as a tool.
