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

I don't believe that will replace in the whole shebang, but some stuff, yeah

Not that companies won't try. But a game done by A.I. will be with so much critics beforehand that even if is the greatest thing ever, it will flop
 
If they are actually better than the AI, they shouldn't be afraid. But is it so?

Yes. Currently AI can't make a decent game that could be sold to the public.

However, don't pretend this is just about skill. Publishers will push for AI to replace as many jobs as possible because it makes them richer. That's what it's about. Money.

I see the purple haired freaks crying online

Oh no. I see where this is going.

that they are threatened as "localization specialists" (localization censorship) or as "artists" (designers of fat ugly women).

Yep. There it is.

Maybe I'm mistaken here, and please correct me if I am, but it seems like AI has now become a left/right divide and you appear to be pro AI because the left are anti AI?
 
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.

unless you are a dei hire, you shouldn't be afraid.
i'm the owner myself, and have been hate DEI since their appearance more than decade ago.
For some people, it will depend on the color of your hair. 🤷‍♂️
my hair is black, and i hate them since their appearance

it is not about DEI, you guys often only see Devs are only blue hair
the truth is there are millions of Devs. and the blue hair stereotypes are on western the most.

here in asian, mostly, we do respect user more. especially if You are not big names.
and we respect human arts more.

Why would I want to create a triple AAA style game by myself using only the combined powers of Grok and LLM psychosis? That's like wanting to eat food tainted with botulism so I can paint the toilet bowl with vomit.

I said that being a bit sarcastic. I believe the whole DEI thing is a lazy thing for people to fall back on. I typically tune out when it gets brought up just like when people start throwing around left and right these days. Those things used to mean something, but I find now it is usually a lazy thing for people to use that only read headlines/tweets/memes. I base that on real life conversations when I actually do take the bait. When I start having real conversations those people (on both side) tend to fall back on talking points and can't bring anything to the conversation to back it up. No offense to anyone who feels differently. We are all just doing our thing, but this has been my experience.
 
I honestly just want this to happen so it will kick all the putrit apples and pandering brainrot people infiltrated in games.
And I hate AI, at least when it's use to do all the human work. It's goes against all that is creative and human has built. But damn, I hate the pandering more. They goes against the buyers, they destroy well know and beloved franchises, they create narratives make themelves the victims, etc. I would never side with them.

"AI will replace the undesirables!"

You like this outcome because you agree with the definition of "undesirable". And when the definition is changed to something you won't like, you'll no longer like this outcome. Therefore, we can safely deduce that you're not actually excited about the fact that AI will slowly replace game developers - you're excited about the prospect of people you don't like being fired, AI is simply the method of removal. And when all of the studios have been gutted by AI, and the industry suffocates and dies beneath an avalanche of slop, and everything is cloud based and you don't own anything, and the only new games are clones of shit that already sells produced by automated AI sweatshops from China, will you sit amongst the ashes and smile, happy in the knowledge that even though it all went to hell, "fat ugly women" were fired first?

What a garbage opinion.

cope. cause it will inevitably happen soon
 
Since I love cRPG's I wouldn't mind devs using AI to make the world and NPCs more reactive to my actions & choices. Having hundreds of compounding & meaningful player choices that effects future world-states, quest-branching and NPC reactions would be an unsurmountable task for fleshbags.

I'd still want the artstyle, underlying systems, mechanics, world building and lore/story structure to be handcrafted for the AI to have something meaningful/unique to latch on to.

But first the industry needs to suffer through the avalanche of slop that'll make the Atari crash seem like it was littered with handpicked quality games.

In the end, as always, the market will decide what sees success and what bombs. If all else fails we'll always have endless backlogs & retro games. And I have a feeling that if AI takes over most of the industry then a niche market of handcrafted games will see enough success to give us a steady supply of games.

Exactly. But the unskilled, blue-haired freaks protest on Bluesky because they know they don't stand a chance against AI. The market will decide if they should keep on delivering their garbage. So I don't get what the problem is with some of the woketards here who defend these "artists." If they are certain their product is superior, they have nothing to be scared of. They don't seem so confident in the current quality, though....

Don't get me wrong, I dislike virtue-infused, pandering and lecture filled shit as much as the next person, but your black/white stance misses a lot of nuance around the topic.

Yes, the use of AI would lead to a lot of layoffs - starting with the least important jobs. Which would probably involve quite a few DEI hires. But from my point of view the rot comes from the top, the same place where all important decisions comes from. If that is because the suits lean too heavily on lopsided market research or if they are fully onboard with the "message" I have no idea.

I haven't followed the BlueSky (safe-space) uproar, but fully celebrating the loss of jobs & fresh blood into the industry is a bit shortsighted IMO.

I don't worry to much either way for the same reasons as in my original post. No amount of name calling, shilling and shaming by the gaming media can force me to purchase a shit game.

Woketards don't trigger me enough to support the industry speedrunning into enshittification

But, hey, whatever cheers you up snowflake
