Support NeoGAF

Can someone please post the "AI made a gameplay footage video, it looks incredible" tweet?

Edit: Found it

It's easy to mock that, but remember how we laughed at AI being unable to render fingers and Will Smith eating pasta.
Just a few years and it'll do it convincingly. 10+ years and your smartphone/Console GPU will do it (if we still have local machines by then).

This is from 2023, now it's a non-issue for AI.

I'm not even sure if an actual artist would be able to make use of AI generated art. As in it may not be as simple as making some minor edits, to make it look good, and may be easier to start from scratch.

They're not able to. Having friends who are really high up in the film and animation world (One of them does stuff for both The Superbowl and masked singer for example) these guys would drop their workload the second that generative AI would allow them to do so but that's the problem; it can't. It's too wonky and inconsistent to produce anything of value that is also easily altered.

This is why I also don't buy the whole "just wait until talented people start using AI" because I have seen 0 such examples in the past few years and that must be for good reason.

Though I gotta admit (not exactly genAI) that using LLM's to help come up with cool after effects scripts and expressions is a true game changer.

Looks shitty and soulless.

The way GAF defends generative AI is surprising. Everybody here is negative and cynical about everything but for some reason AI slop is just fine.

I have a theory, it's pulled out of my ass but it's a working theory, that conservatives tend to be more mentally stable but more creatively bankrupt and progressives, vice versa. As a conservative and at the same time a game developer it's sad to see this because I have to constantly fight with 'my camp' about whether protecting human achievement and creativity from the upcoming, most radical change humanity has ever faced is a conservative's job. It's an extremely disappointing reality, conservatives tend to not be very conscientious, it's sad that essential human qualities have to be this sharply divided between political factions.

Anyone who doesn't see this is the future of gaming is delusional. Give it a few years and graphics cards will be a thing of the past. Just like apps on phones.

Everything about this looked faked, especially the overlay of the keys.

It shows promise though.

Still looks weird

And I hope maintain weird, to people know the difference between real and fake world

Yeaaaah...

No

AI-generated videos will become indistinguishable from real ones by around 2030 at the latest. Personally, I think this may happen as early as 2028.
One only needs to compare AI-generated images from 2023 to those from 2025.
AI-generated voices already became indistinguishable from real human voices last year (when done right).
I can't even imagine what world we will live in when even video recordings cannot be trusted. Actually I am wondering if courts in 2026 still care about any kind of audio recording evidence, or if they just exclude it altogether.

While I hate AI generated slop around, I wouldn't mind seeing AI helping real-time graphics vastly evolving in a record time, Nvidia's Neural Materials & RTX faces & hair are ones, I bet Nvidia's Rubin architecture will provide that AI-generated grunt to truly transform video game graphics, hopefully.

But the current AI craze is also hindering the progress of facilitating more powerful GPUs to more consumers in order to make them ubiquitous. After all, developers will make their games based on the lower denominators & which current GPUs are owned the most by consumers.

I disagree. I find it geniunely unimpressive.

I see a bunch of blurry footage with insane smearing and no coherency. Even the tech behind it; It's just generating a terrible looking "playable" video. Not even the future implications sounds exciting to me as of now.

It's a guy walking down the street that is perfectly rendered and they open a car door. What kind of "coherency" is lacking???

I think one question mark would've sufficed.

I can only imagine this is trained on some kind of street view. If you look at the smaller details like vegetation then you'll notice it's trying to recalculate the line of sight relative to the 'player' for every frame by rotating it on it's Z-axis. But this looks horrible, like all of the vegetation is constantly moving and dancing around with tons of artifacting. It's also why the left rim on the car is messed up. I bet it just doesn't have the original reference material to work with so it has to fill in the blanks. The reflection on the car also shows a lot of artifacting.

This was after 5-10 seconds of analyzing. It's not that hard to grasp and I suggest stop being so emotionally invested in something that still looks like ass craig to the majority of people so we can maybe have an actual meaningful discussion about the subject for once.
