    So, AI generated code, but not AI generated textures. That’s still slop.

      and likely also ai generated plotlines and other stuff, just maybe tidied up by humans.

      I’m almost certain that crimson desert did something like that. Even though the game looks very good and has good content, everything just feels so… uninspired. The quests too you do to random people, like there was some smith that has broken his hammer and cant use it. When you turn in the wood for the hammer, he basically just goes “I can use my hammer again” and that is that. Pretty good looking game and completely without a soul.

        Same goes for some of the main story writing I’ve seen. Truly uninspired stuff, just absolute blandness.

    So keeping copilot / Claude but not using art assets.

      They will use placeholders but none of these things will male them considerably more productive, I think. They use LLMs because managers got FOMO.

    I feel like they’re just covering their asses because the c-suite wants their AI summaries in emails and shit, but the devs know using it for anything is creative suicide. That, and maybe localization still wants their AI tools, which predate LLMs but probably get lumped in anyway.

    This feels like a way for them to say fuck generative AI, but also, hey investors, don’t pull out we can find something else to do with it I guess…

    Ultimately, if you’re a publicly traded company, the calls to “use AI and use it now” are too strong for tech companies to completely ignore, so it’s at least good that they’re drawing a line from an ethical and artistic standpoint.

      To me it sounds more like them saying fine we’ll hire real artists, but we won’t hire real devs.

        They’ll still have devs. Maybe fewer devs and no junior devs.

        …which will suck for the company when they do their next round of layoffs.

    AI can absolutely be used in a responsible, effective and enhancing way. Humans however always finds a way to turn possibilities into shit. Which is then amplified by retarded investors that only know this coool new buzzword of the week.

      I have yet to see any dev use it in a responsible, effective, and enhancing way. It also makes them take longer and produce worse code. With the exception of those who are already worse coders than the AI.

    Ok. Solid argument.
