Humans and especially creatives will always find a way to be cheap. And quick.

If recycling old content (like Disney in the GIF), or using an AI frees up time to be creative somewhere else, that is fine by me.

Hey, Japan did it first.

That made me buy this game on cover art alone, over Super Mario Bros 2... I'm still bitter.

I feel we are getting very close to the 100 monkeys + 100 typewriters + infinite attempts = 1 Shakespeare novel. It's just a shame we have to endure all the shit attempts.

RIP motion capture jobs.

Damn, the Bubble is going to take the US economy down with it unless they are willing to stress the fuck out of power grids

This is actually bad, there will be less creativity with a.i slop.

It'll be on both ends of the spectrum. Smart indies will take it to the next level, doing things only AAA studios could afford to before.

The industry is in a total creative slump even without AI, it can't really get much worse.

I say let the great slopification of video games begin. It's only the next logical step after horse armor DLC, mtx, GaaS, always online, game key cards and gacha.

This is ofcourse merely one ai tools among many that will rapidly reshape games development. Given the amount of creatively bankrupt slop we've been inundated with, it will ironically facilitate far more creative output, even in writing it's far better than the absolute dross most games are filled with for everything barring the main questlines in select games. Gaming has never been the pinnacle of human writing talent, and it just seems to be getting worse this past decade.

In most cases good enough is good enough.

 

[Complistic]

This sounds great until every game looks the same

Like all tools, there will be the people using it correctly and making better game, and there will be guy abusing of it. It's not like asset flip games isn't already a thing. I'm not sure how AI slops is that much different from asset flips.

well, it's not different at some point, but worst because they will make lower effort IMHO : /

AI & art really aren't a great combo. Let AI stick to backend tasks and work flows.

 

[digimaster7]

Hmmm… okay so my workday is also gonna be reduced from 8 hours a day to minutes right?

 

[Durin]

Plenty of parts of the rigging process involve tasks that are just mundane repetitive tasks, involving no human creativity/intent. Nearly the entire process of UV creation I hope AI further automates, because it's just tedious garbage between my finished 3d model and the texturing process.

Some corpo slop will probably happen, but it will open up opportunities for smaller teams to do more.

Slopification is nothing new. That happened way back in the 80s that caused the video game crash of '83.

 

[Chechack]

brilliant, I bet lots of high quality games are on the way…….

Well,we do have games like Concord that cost hundreds if million with years of dev time without using AI and high artistic sense and passion that every gamers want right.

.....oh

I've roleplayed with 'AI Creative Writing' for 2 months and the only one that wasn't absolute atrocious was Gemini 2.5 (it was still bad, but it could analyze scenarios with better precision than ChatGPT, but it saved memory and analysis frequently with larger token samples and it was pissing me off).

Didn't try Grok4 because I'm not spending $300 on a chatbot with an anime girl but I imagine it performs around Gemini, the models are hitting a plateau on gains with what they are capable of with generative text, and maybe images as well. Nearly the entire AI Market startup will be gone or severly downsized if the Bubble actually bursts and doesn't deflate. If reactions to Gemini 3.0 are the same as with GPT5 then we will have our awnsers.

There are already many AI tools being used in the gaming industry, Generative AI not only is unreliable but it's way to expensive, it's somewhat useful for brainstorming and drafting.

If i were an AAA company I wouldn't trust any LLM company with millions of dollars worth of data, so I imagine if Generative AI is somehow used in games in the future it would have to be used with local models trained on large swats of company data, altought usage is merely speculative at this point considering depends on how bad the possible bubble burst is.
