Anyone else excited about the fact that AI will slowly replace game developers?

I think this is quite positive:

  1. Since a lot of tedious work is reduced, the developers who continue to work can focus on more meaningful things and improve them.
  2. AAA and AA games will now take much less time to create.
  3. Let's not kid ourselves, especially AAA studios today have a bunch of useless parasites of questionable gender with blue hair. When the time comes for layoffs, the most useless parts will inevitably leave the company so that those who remain can work with AI and get the job done.
  4. The entry barrier for games is being lowered. Now small devs will be able to produce AAA scale games as AI will offer them an infinite workforce to work with, which now the big studios are forced to pay for for years. This will allow LOTS OF GREAT games of excellent quality to be released by people working alone using AI for their project. And not only in games, the same will happen in movies. Will anyone miss Netflix if it shuts down because AI has now advanced so much that anyone with a little directing skill can produce a 2 hour movie from their computer? Good riddance.
Edit: Since some people brought up that AI is leftist too, the answer is that it won't be, because when the model moves to a Local LLM (running on your own computer), the technical barriers and "safety filters" imposed by a corporation are removed.

AI is programmed by those blue hairs and share the same values.
 
Setting aside the mechanized plagiarism, the looming existential labor crisis that will literally require communism and UBI to correct, the planetary destruction from dramatic energy use, the techno-feudal political hellscape that will inevitably result from concentration of all capital and production capacity into a small handful of companies, the destruction of cities crippled by high energy cost near data centers, the destruction of the consumer hardware market that is required for gaming to even exist ...

It won't really benefit AAA gaming much at all, as they seem doomed for the most part regardless. Speeding up development for AAA doesn't matter honestly. If AI actually gets to a point that it is doing the work of AAA studios, what that means is that AAA studios will barely have a reason to exist. Indies will be the largest growth area since they can run skeleton crew teams and automate development of better and larger games that will fully displace almost all structured large scale employment in gaming. Indies already have come close as is. Imagine when they get their hands on AI. They will still be putting out games that are half the cost of a $70 game, or $80, but they're going to just be bigger and better.

Sigh.. the point of LLMs. First step is efficiency, which is what everyone is chasing now. The big jump is going to be the quality increase of products. Workforce reduction will not be the final result, but the demand for increased quality to be competitive will.
 
I am definitely all for anything which would make someone's work easier, or allow someone to do something they weren't capable of doing before. AI does that, so I applaud it. So yes - I am excited at what AI will allow creators to do. I'm not excited at people losing their jobs, though I completely understand that new technology always makes certain jobs obsolete, or less dependent on humans. Apparently many people on the internet aren't aware how many people lost their jobs as scribes when automated typography became a thing. Probably because it made a lot things easier. Or how many coach drivers sold their horses and carriages and couldn't do anything when cars became a thing. New tech brings new possibilities, new jobs, and makes other jobs obsolete. That's how things always went on this Earth.
 
It wont. Its a tool for developers.

It will replace the useless people could tributing nothing though. Which means we'll get streamlined companies and pipelines in development

I want A.I. to do my taxes, not my art.
Now people want A.I. to do the creative stuff so people can spend their free time doing chores.
I hate it here.
 
Nope. Can't wait for the entire AI boble to crash.

But seriously, the video game industry is about to crash due to AI at the moment, so there won't be games to make or hardware to play them on.

I'm looking forward to the day when I can tell an AI what sort of game I want to play, and a few hours later, I'm playing a custom game based on my preferences.

Until then, I'm very happy with AI being used as much as possible in the game development process, including replacing artistic, creative, localization, and voiceover workers.
 
AI will never replace developers. It will be used as a development tool to make things easier.

Some people are way too keen on replacing people.

AI is a great tool for problem solving.
 
If it means we get games on time-spans we had back in the PS2 days and before, when you had a full game in roughly a year?
Well... I for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

By the time you get a sequel today, you have moved on with your life and grown old.

Let me go ask ChatGPT how I should feel about this — and I'll get back to you later. No fluff. Real answers. 🤔✨

I asked ChatGPT to estimate when the A.I. bubble will burst, based on the historical data of how investments and market crashes worked in the past with numerous technological breakthroughs and the stockmarket.

It said the 'crash' won't be an overnight crash but the market will have to course correct. It estimated around the end of 2027. But even after that, it will take a few months for the GPU and DRAM prices to start going down.

So no different than what we have now?

Yup. Just like there are people who have no idea what they are doing as YouTubers, there will be people who will make irrelevant crap with A.I. And some who will do truly marvelous things. Eventually the A.I. phobia will die down, once everyone and their mother will use it.
 
No.
The games market got too big and all companies are turbocapitalist disasters. They'll just push the boundaries as much as possible to check just how much gamers are willing to lower their standards in the face of teh literal garbage they're about to submerge them in. And gamers are, let's say, not the wisest type of consumer.

So yeah, i'm not at all excited and I expect the next generation of consoles to be another piece of absolute shit.

Videogames are about to become a total waste of everyone's time.
