You’ve mentioned pursuit of profit and executives cutting costs, but again that isn’t a fault of AI, that is a fault of the system. AI is a tool, like any other technology that we’ve made. I think it’s a waste of time to try and stop it, and any effort you put into stopping AI would be better spent on trying to fix/destroy the system that we have as a whole.
All other technology we have created has done what you say AI is doing, so your dislike of AI specifically doesn’t make sense to me based on those two things.
As I mentioned in my previous comment, technology has already gotten rid of so many jobs. It has also allowed them to do things much more efficiently. Does that not mean more profit for companies? Technology has always helped companies make more profit, so I don’t see how AI is any different.
I know the AI I’m thinking of isn’t on the market, hence why I said “if it ever”. I’d like to add that in my opinion, the actual threat of AI is if it straight up replaces human beings and can replicate what we can do uniquely as humans, in which case we will no longer have work to do.
I know people hate AI (I am included in that group), however trying to get companies to stop using AI is a waste of energy. I believe that technology is going to keep progressing, potentially at the cost of the human race, unless something fundamentally changes in our system. We’ve already gotten rid of multiple jobs and destroyed the environment due to technology, so I don’t see how AI is any different. Although I suppose AI actually has the power to straight up replace human beings if it ever becomes that intelligent.
Edit: AI is a new technology, but so was the car, computer, and smartphone. All of these things have changed the world for better or worse (I’d argue worse, I think anyone that looks at the dire state of our planet would agree). I merely make the claim that AI is the next thing of that. Hate it or like it, it is probably here to stay unless the system as a whole changes, which is where our energy should be focused.
Didn’t mind the first one, but you are out of your mind if you think I would pay $70 for this game. Especially after they tried to sell it for $80 at first. Thank god that didn’t fly. Fuck you Microsoft.
It’s crazy too, because most games that launch for $70, you can just wait 3 months and then they’ll have a 30% sale. I will be picking it up this March, should go on sale for like 40%.
What makes you so upset over people “attacking” the AAA industry? Most of the big AAA players release literal garbage, games filled with anti-consumer practices. Not only do they tend to release “unfinished” like No Mans Sky did, but they also have DRM, microtransactions, third party launchers + accounts that take your data. Who cares if they get attacked? I honestly wish people would do more.
I don’t really understand what it is you have a problem with.
“and Hello Games never actually apologized for lying.” Good. I don’t want a corporate apology. Apologies from companies literally mean nothing. What matters is your actions. They have updated the game, for free, and still have no microtransactions. No third party launcher or account needed. Can be played offline. You buy the game, you get the game. That is RARE these days.
Should they have released the game in the first place? No. If you don’t support that, then don’t buy it. I don’t really like that, so I bought it on sale for like $30 instead of its full price of $60, which in my opinion was worth it.
There are plenty of problems in the gaming industry right now, I think NMS’s “redemption” arc is the least of your worries.
My comment was in reference to the “GOG caught using AI tools” part, not the scam part. I didn’t bother to watch the video on the other half of the title.
