I’m sure that the new Saudi owners and Jared Kushner will be looking into hacking up human developer cost by any means necessary.

    As someone who uses AI regularly for software engineering and ~2/3 of the time finds it very effective…

    …there is no way it can produce quality games or gaming experiences.

    I look forward to watching EA collapse. Get rekt.

      There always places. I’m skeptical about saving significant money but what about graphical or story elements? I’m not too familiar with how games are built but ai can generate arbitrary “artwork” and even music

        The human employees may use AI to help speed things up or do repetitive/monotonous tasks, but without human oversight the AI will be functionally worthless for most things due to lack of knowledge over instructions. Add on the insecure and unoptimized code AI spits out and it’s gonna be fun watching the dumpster fire.

        For me the beauty of some games is the knowledge of the writers involved in a story or the composers for the music.

        If I know upfront it’s all AI generated I think that’d ruin it for me. But I realize that’s just my opinion.
