A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Depends, honestly. I think for solo indie devs, AI is going to be huge because they can create high-quality assets like models, terrain or music without having to learn all the individual programs and skills which could take another couple of years, and if we're honest - if you don't propagate that you used AI for assets, barely anyone will notice it.
Until a few years from now, when someone can just describe the exact game they want and it's just poofed into existence with no human intervention and everyone is just playing their own isolated AI generated slop.
First of all, it's gonna take a while until we're at the point that games are just "poofed" into existence. AI can barely generate mods for existing games, let alone full games.
And second - well, yes. If it's good slop, it's not an issue tho?
Im being hyperbolic on the timeline, yes, but the end result is the same, and it's sad as hell imo. Don't get me wrong, Im not some AI luddite, I think it has it's uses, but I fear how it will take the human element out of our art and stories, something that is fundamentally so human.
With all due respect, but there already is no "human" in AAA productions. And indies will still produce good games, just a bit faster because AI takes over a lot of work.
Nothing will change, in total.
