"In the future, entertainment will be randomly generated"

[Gandalf_the_Black_]

I think AI will be very helpful in executing important parts of the creative process which are not the main focus of individual indie devs, allowing them to focus on their favourite parts of the game dev. For example, it's entirely plausible that AI will be able to easily animate models and sprites (if it can't already), giving devs who are more focused on programming more time to spend on parts that are more interesting to them. It will probably also get to the point where it can read code which just isn't doing what you want it to and, based on a prompt, suggest ways to fix it. It will undoubtedly lead to a whole load of low-effort games being pumped out, but it will also hopefully take a lot of the pain out of game dev.

imagine if programs like Unity or Gamemaker put their own AI in their software to generate textures. I can totally see this being a thing in the future.

My problem with AI art is precisely how the people behind it are feeding the AI database with, which is hundreds of thousands of pieces of art made by humans with no consent and no return at all. The "tool" isn't the AI, it's us, the people using it. We are training the AI to decide what is considered good and what not.

I wish, the guys behind these "tools" considered giving artists an option or a revenue to the artist's artworks being used to train their machine. Which, obviously, they wouldn't. Also, if everything is considered good, then none of it is.

I think we'll see a bit of both. When new tech comes out, there will always be those who use it honestly and those who abuse it.

But the code isn't made with AI, luckily there is an AI called OpenAI codex which can code for you

Bro... I wanted to see the solved puzzle... The end hurts my autistic little brain 😭

[Divo_dev]

I actually hate this ai thing. People thought robots will take over simple jobs and what not. They left the simple jobs and took over real art. The fact that ai can make actually good "art" whether it be 3d models images or even music is scary for me..like i wanna have a job when i graduate bro

[CM_ChocolateMiracles]

I hope Ai doesn't take off too much. It could get rid of lots of people's jobs

[hiimandiandi]

ive actually had ideas for ai generated content to be used for horror or something unsettling

exhibit A. "this spongebob theory was ai generated"

[ITR]

clickbait title, lol ;)

Personally I'm looking forward to AI generated sound effects, I think that would be really amazing for small game developers and for gamejams

[DominikT]

the fact that people are getting humiliated by ai is worrying.

When I checked newest image generators this year first thing I thought "Oh, imagine how many kickstarter scams it will make possible"
But interacting with it I saw a lot of different opportunities on freeing up time from photohunting for textures and generating advertisements and packages for filling scenes with details. Now, AI is firmly incorporated in my workflow and I'll be honest, working with it can be both harder and faster, harder because it is different type of workflow where you basically engage in a dialog with an RNG faster because it can happen between your active working sessions, harder because it requires me to learn and copy it's style to touch up parts I'm not happy with to finish the job, faster because I'm not doing all of it. For a lot of artists AI in it's current form will not be a handy solution, same about 3d posing functionality for reference poses and 3d backgrounds, 3d models for armor and objects e.t.c.
But I personally see AI generated images as a mean to speed up the work of indie productions for extremely low price.
I don't really see how "Cheap low effort cash grabs" can get worse than asset flipping though, so I'm quite comfortable with assuming that it will get quite bad, but not in a worst way in history. We all saw how low it can get, and I'm pretty sure hitting new low will be pretty hard.

TL/DR: AI is a cool tool that will help to make cool games, it can't get worse than uninspired asset flips with no user input.

Title: *"AI generated game are RUINING steam"*

[OnyeNacho]

AIG games are NOT ruining Steam. Anti-AI zealots ARE ruining creative freedom.

[PrestaPretzel]

For some reason the first time I clicked on this video it didn't have any audio and I thought you tried to convey your point entirely through gameplay and like 3 screenshots

[ButterFromDiscord]

Ai generated games? More like “use the works of people who have not consented to this in order to make garbage with 0 effort”

[jsudduy]

Game engine to create AI
AI creates game engine

[GUMMY_MKII]

Both, like always.
Just like when the commercialization of cameras happened or 3D rendering softwares became affordable...
More crap,
More masterpieces,
More.

[superbitable]

AI’s really bad for artists. I sincerely hope it doesn’t catch on.
