this message is for investors, not gamers
dumb investors will be like "oh yay they're doing the tech hype fad thing that lets management do big layoffs and pump out content"
smart investors will be like "this will make the games worse"
Yeah, wasn't it the same message but with NFTs instead of AI the last year or the one before? Clearly they are just chasing the latest trend no matter what
I would love an RPG where you could just type whatever you want for dialog choices.
The technology isn't there yet, both in terms of running on the average gamer PC and in terms of producing a result that is predictable enough to actually fit into a given game world. In the context of games you don't want the AI to just make up any old crap based on something completely unrelated to the game world.
Although we do have AI Dungeon for many years now.
Yeah, but that is more the kind of game where you go "haha, look what kind of crap it produced this time" and less a serious use case where you want to be 99% certain it won't suddenly talk about something completely different.
Yeah and if game companies don't work with and develop the tech it never will
With the right context given to the AI (backstory, motivation, personality, specific plot points the character has to mention at certain points in the game) as is it can provide pretty decent responses. The hardware limitation exists for sure, but we already have online-only single player games, at least this would provide a functionality instead of just more drm.
chat gpt can't even tell a cohesive story where it remembers what it said 3 paragraphs ago
Older models couldn't. Now it absolutely can, particularly if you can feed it more info, like I suggested.
And I'll be "aggressive in avoiding" their games
Why tho?
I bet it'll be the next console generation where games will eventually require GPUs with dedicated AI cores as the minimum spec requirement to even play. AMD is investing in AI and they provide the hardware for Sony and Microsoft.
Ai needs to become a part of gaming, do long as it doesn't encroach on jobs. If anything, it'll add jobs for people who specialize in ai. Games have huge limitations that can be fixed with ai, such as real time graphics and textures management, and more importantly voice work. Games are very limited in how much dialogue the NPCs repeat etc, and ai can fix this by using the already performed dialogue and stretching it, that doesn't take anyone's job, it just makes the game better.
We have to make sure people aren't losing their jobs or being taken advantage of, studios need to unionize, but I refuse to have a knew jerk reaction that limits new and useful technology. The problem with AI is in the stock holder's meetings and board room, not in the technology itself.
"We think that every employee below board level is a feckless idiot who can be replaced by a glorified predictive text model."
