Death Stranding Creator Hideo Kojima Wants AI To Handle "Tedious Tasks" To Cut Down Development Time & Cost

Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima wants AI to handle "tedious task" in order to cut down on development time and cost.

Speaking to Wired Japan, Kojima Productions game director Hideo Kojima discussed how a lot of people AI in creative work to come up with ideas. However, he likes to think of the technology as more of a friend or a helping hand, where he would lead the creative part and use AI to boost efficiency.

The Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid creator further mentioned that he would like AI to handle the "tedious tasks" that would lower cost and cut down on time. He envisions a scenario where he would be "co-creating with AI instead of just using it." By "tedious tasks", he's likely referring to things like handling lipsyncing in various languages.

He looks like he slept not so well the night before the interview. Maybe he saw some Ghosts!?

What's it going to do? Lock Kojima in his office for a year?

I mean, I don't wanna dump on the man, but that's kind of exactly what its meant for Kojima san.

Only the tech bros keep selling it like it's skynet and it's coming to eat your children as batteries and take your jobs.

it is obvious he let AI write the stories for Death Stranding 1 & 2.

Because even the monkeys shitting on a typewriter could come up with a better story than "he"/AI did.

 

[ozz ex machina]

I hate AI - especially in the creative fields. But honestly one thing I was hoping AI would do is reduce bloat and devtime for AAA games. The length of time it takes to make big games now is completely ridiculous. Get me back to the PS2/360 cadence of big releases because it's a fucking joke right now.

 

[GymWolf]

He want ai to handle the gameplay of ds3?

The guy just said how he would use AI to speed up development of his games.

Why do people have to interpret every sentence of his as him being self-absorbed, arrogant, know-it-all prick?

 

[Myths]

High IQ people understand the concept of efficiency in any domain

 

[SnapShot]

Good

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Makes sense.

This is it: "he likes to think of the technology as more of a friend or a helping hand".

You either adapt and use AI as an assistant (C-3PO) or keep perceiving it as a threat/enemy (T-800) and fall behind.

Ghost or AI bro you can't have it both ways.

So he wants to use the tool as a tool? Sounds fine to me.

Tech bro here.....the majority of us are NOT saying this. The problem is you have the media who lives and thrives off of clickbait doom and gloom articles that are spreading all these stories about how AI is going to become Terminator 2 any day now.

The truth is, the most things at risk at this point for AI to completely run have already been that way for years. It's just now going to get so refined that you won't even be able tell at all it's AI. Things like customer service first line chatbots, etc....there are alot more things coming for sure, but none of it is doom and gloom.

HK has a very valid take on it here, and i see nothing wrong with it.

Dude is using precious studio time and equipment to make photos of himself in pajamas.

 

[MiguelItUp]

AI thrives with tedious tasks, just keep it away from all forms of art, lol.

 

[Saber]

Seems safe from what I can understand. As long is not important tasks, it should be fine I guess.

but what if the AI gets smarter and rebels against koji pro

Before gets attacked he creates another concept for Kojima games.

Hideo Kojima using AI as a friend probably won't sit well with Geoff Keighley.

Just a normal person who works in software here and laughs at the average west coast tech bros.

Tech bros are 100% overselling their AIs to make it seem like they are lightyears ahead of what they are. Elon says his AI is going to discover a new element within a year. Stories of AI trying to stop itself from being shut down or trying to assassinate people is all absolute nonsense. They 100 percent pretend like their model is "scary" because they want you to subscribe and pay them money instead of their competition.

I also never said anything hideo said was wrong if you read my post properly im literally agreeing with him, saying that is what AI is useful for currently.
