Elon's announcement

Of all the ideas I've heard of returning Gaming to its "Golden age", this has got to be one of the worst ones yet. Sophia Narwitz points out not only what modern AAA studios lack, but what "AI" will never be able to replicate: human passion (and also provides what Elon could've done instead). So, Elon's solution to soulless modern AAA games experiences is not to invest in talented, passionate developers with a clear vision, but to try to replicate past glories with algorithms.

AI can't die out soon enough.

AAA games already feel robotic, too designed by committee and devoid of passion, adding AI into the mix would only compound the issue tenfold.

The day that ALL OF THIS is a thing of the past can't get here soon enough.

Yeah, there is no way this won't blow in his face if he even tries.

Ai needs to be banned

The closest thing that Ai can achieve is the Minecraft Ai server and that alone looks like schizophrenic fever dream at best. the major problem with Ai it's only great for as a tool instead of being the replacement of human input. which is why so many companies in the industry are ovulating in every orifices by thought of being able to replace their talented artist that should of been pay and rewarded for breaking their backs during all of this.

But again, the only way Ai could properly work if you either:
a) create a dedicated operated system that would mostly generate the product you requested. or,
b) extensively train the engine to generate the exact prompt you requested.

Ai is advancing far more compare to the previous year, but Ai is only a tool. regardless of how fancy it can be, any talentless hack with no understanding of the media will only make complete shit. just look up the Ai Ghibli live action trailer for an example of this and the insult to life itself.

And this would sound blasphemous, especially coming from someone who's very pro-art and creative expression.

But I wish that big companies rely on Ai more than their artist, just to watch their industry to rot and implode in the following years. because if this is what they think will "revolutionize" the entertainment industry, they'll have a rude awakening when they find out that people won't accept poorly made slop. and have already throw ship with every talented person that they take for nothing and have to crawl back from their sorry ass decisions. which by that point, artist can move on to working on their own projects/ other people who actually respect the work they made.

It will be a great reality check for them, as long as their heads are so up their asses, of course. but it might be the closest thing to be the death of Hollywood and/or the equivalent to the videogame industry. so there's that to be looking forward to everyone.

Some sort of AAA crash would be a wet dream for most gamers, probably.
There's so much wrong with them even excluding AI slop.

Also I wonder how Elon will react when it inevitably fails. Couldn't be worse than some of the reactions from publishers/devs we've seen.

That's incorrect, soulless slop sells well as long as it has the right ip and advertising attached

Of course Elon would simp for AI-generated content, whatever can allow him to not do the actual work himself.

Dont worry….this will fail….hard

Probably, but there's still hope.

Last year, Disney made Wish which is by far the biggest blunder, both financially and reception. For being less of a celebration of Disney's 100 year anniversary and more of an epitome of every post 2010's animated film's cliches by Disney that everyone have grown tired of. that and the original concept was greatly drafted, it was originally supposed to be in 2D but revert back to the standard 3D style with slight alteration in the filters/shading. Which is pathetic when you compare how other companies have experimented with 3D animation far ahead of Disney. Not to mention the character's concept and writing. That star twink design alone could of carry that whole film but they choose the garden variety luma instead. Seriously tho, how do they fuck this up so badly.

It should be a capital crime to do a 100-year anniversary entirely with technology that's only been around for the last thirty.

Not to mention the songs are absolutely atrocious and scream ai generated! Seriously it really shouldn’t be hard to get actual competent songwriters like Lin Manuel Miranda who worked with disney before!

Thunderf00t might be right about Muskrat being much like Enron. Between looking to buy MSNBC and starting this dumb scheme while Tesla and Xitter burn, it's only a matter of time until Muskrat faces the consequences--especially when he falls out of Orange Man's favor.

elon musk is really trying to speedrunning to be the next donald trump huh

The falling out between them is one of the few things I have to look forward to and I am exited
