why is everyone so happy to use ai in the creation of video games, we went literally 30-40 years without it and some of the best games ever made didn’t incorporate ai. this is just excuse for slop

Comment section is incredibly daft, as an artist using AI to conceptualize an idea is a great usage of a tool. It’ll give you a good vision on your idea and final product is fully human-made with no AI assets. Now this is good usage of AI

"We confirmed we use AI". Alright thanks. Concept artists and placeholder objects are literally there for this reason. You can set something up in 5 minutes to see how it looks. Any game studio should already have that concept pipeline.

“i got ai to write an essay and i hand wrote it after so it was all human crafted” if you use ai the outcome is still ai generated not human crafted

People excusing Ai aren’t looking at the bigger picture. And it terrifies me that you all don’t see it.

I have been a tomb raider player since the first game in the 90s. I haven't played every game, but most of them. this game is being removed from my steam wishlist

AI is making gaming hardware unaffordable but game studios think it's a good idea to use it...

Using AI as the thinking process is a very major red flag when it's just a remake or a continuation of previous games. Shame on Crystal Dynamics.

Don’t buy the game. If you give them an inch they will take a mile

People will get upset with this, but not with companies having their coders sleep under desks for weeks on end without seeing their family. This is a good use of AI. It doesn't eliminate jobs in an industry where crunch is the norm - it speeds up the process and allows the reallocation of workflow

The PR person coming in and interjecting tells you all you need to know. They are aware they’re doing something wrong.

"I think we said what we wanted to say about it now" yeah don't worry you said everything with that line, I cant wait to see the day the AI replaces PR too to see their reactions
