So, AI generated code, but not AI generated textures. That’s still slop.

and likely also ai generated plotlines and other stuff, just maybe tidied up by humans.
I'm almost certain that crimson desert did something like that. Even though the game looks very good and has good content, everything just feels so.. uninspired. The quests too you do to random people, like there was some smith that has broken his hammer and cant use it. When you turn in the wood for the hammer, he basically just goes "I can use my hammer again" and that is that. Everything else also feels kind of same about the game. Things are bad when even ubisoft games start looking like height of inspiration when compared to your game.
Ok. Solid argument.
So keeping copilot / Claude but not using generated art assets.
AI can absolutely be used in a responsible, effective and enhancing way. Humans however always finds a way to turn possibilities into shit. Which is then amplified by retarded investors that only know this coool new buzzword of the week.
AI can absolutely be used in a responsible, effective and enhancing way.
Maybe it can, but only if it's trained responsibly, and not through the unprecedented exploitation of the labor and culture of the creative class like pretty much every large scale generative AI application out there.
I have yet to see any dev use it in a responsible, effective, and enhancing way. It also makes them take longer and produce worse code. With the exception of those who are already worse coders than the AI.
Humans are lazy and kind of stupid. Given an easy option that works more than, I don't know, 50% of the time, they'll do it.
I wonder if anyone's done studies on how often a "shortcut" has to fail before people stop using it.
This feels like a way for them to say fuck generative AI, but also, hey investors, don't pull out we can find something else to do with it I guess...
Ultimately, if you're a publicly traded company, the calls to "use AI and use it now" are too strong for tech companies to completely ignore, so it's at least good that they're drawing a line from an ethical and artistic standpoint. Once the bubble pops, they can probably take a "I told you so" victory lap.
To me it sounds more like them saying fine we’ll hire real artists, but we won’t hire real devs.
