>Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of GTA developer Rockstar Games, has reportedly laid off its AI team, including its head of AI.>Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has previously plainly stated that AI is incapable of creativity of its own
Another dogshit decision driven by neo-communism.
Thoughts on Strauss Zelnick's career?
So are the NPCs going to have shit AI like in CP2077?
They then outsourced that role to a very specific country with very cheap workers, by the way.>>736369774I don't know who that is but GTA hasn't had a good game since San Andreas. Or well, that's not entirely true. Liberty Cities Stories was good to a degree.
>>736369617translation: rockstar indiasociety is healing
>>736369774Approves garbage remasters. Like the rdr1 remaster after years and years of people just wanting a graphical upgrade was the opposite of good. Amazing game, fucking zero effort full price remaster.
>>736369617What the fuck does a game dev need an "AI team" for? Surely every dev there already knows how to use AI or can learn it if needed
>>736370061Probably a team whose only job is to experiment with AI tools to see if there's anything useful that can be done with these new-fangled tools that all the tech CEOs say are revolutionary.The fact that the team was dissolved suggests that they couldn't find anything.
>>736369617>AI is incapable of creativity of its ownIsn't that what the AI team is there for?
>>736369907That's really the only way to use AI. Why pay a full wage for slop?
In the context of games, AI doesn't just mean gen AI.Did they fire the right people?
>>736370061Development of in house AI models and tools to use so you don't have to pay to use the ones made by external sources for their AI workflow tools. R* decided to just go ahead and use the specialized AI tools from companies whose focus is making said tools. It makes sense considering, if we're being honest, how many games is Rockstar really going to make where they can use their in house tools enough to make it work investing the R&D for it? They also don't have talent that knows how even take advantage of AI tools for their workflows anyway.>So you're saying they are incompetent Yes. There's also no excuse for why GTA VI has been in development for nearly a decade.
>>736370239From my experience they just give the tools to normal workers to experiment with.Or more like it's mandatory to learn the tools even if you have to do it on your free time. AI team in this case sounds more like r&d thing.
To me triple A games are the same quality as AI slop. I don't see why GTAVI couldn't be made by AI.
>>736370926Triple AI games
>>736369617I think a lot of people are slowly realizing that whatever speed you get from AI is marginal because in the end you still need to go and verify the outputtoolchains and testing can get you far with code (just have AI review and test its own code kek what could go wrong) but soon enough something will break, and you need someone to understand what the code doesyou need half decent coders and artists for the AI gain to be only marginal, of coursefor midwits, AI feels like magicyou'd be surprised how quickly a team of artists can generate cool game-ready art. and then you don't have to bend over backwards to justify it to trannies on blueskysame for code. writing code has never been the bottleneck
lol
