Why is using AI in gamedev bad when It allows new oportunities like making a game with hundreds of npcs with impossible to do levels of rpg dialogs by crafting them manually?

Or make a porn game with hundreds of npcs to fugg.

It's lazy and the really creative people are too proud to use it
I have only used it one time on a whim
Pasted the error message into chatgpt and asked what was wrong. Expected it to ask for more context but it just immediately intuited what I was using it for based on the name I gave the variable and solved it
It was really impressive for somebody who doesn't know a whole lot

Do you not realize that by playing games like Far Cry 3-5, Oblivion, Cyberpunk, The Witcher 3... any of those 'greats' that you are taking work away from artists who are currently STRUGGLING to find stable employment in the gaming industry right now?

Yeah.. kindly rethink your stance on AI and maybe think about that the next time you're basking in the leaves of those artificially placed trees. Fascists.

ai tools are already baked in to their programs though. if you used the magic wand selection tool in photoshop, you used ai
plus your argument exposes the problem. "existing tools"? perfectly fine. new tools (like ai)? evil and satanic. go back a decade to when those "existing tools" were new and you would have hated them too lol

how are ai tools different than other computer algorithm tools? using speedtree as an example

these are not the same thing and you are more than aware of it
a chisel helps carve
it doesn't just make a statue for you
is the product art? sure. did you make it? did you achieve something worthwhile? negative on both accounts
the process of art teaches you what's good about product
AI generation doesn't teach you anything or advance your skill

so you support ai. using ai powered tools still counts as using ai. you used an ai powered magic wand tool instead of manually selecting each pixel yourself
>buddy if you're driven and passionate about an artform then the freedom that the existing tools give you is always superior to the good enough filler
meaning this statement was a lie lol

nobody thinks prompting chatgpt to make a picture from nothing makes them the next picasso. but plenty of people think using any amount of ai at all makes you the devil. thats dumb. more people should be using ai powered tools to reduce tedious bullshit in art - like manually selecting pixels

>>738827902
I fail to see how there is a discrepancy in what I said
magic selection is literal grunt work
AI generation of the modern definition could hypothetically be used as such, but it isn't geared for that and is rarely if ever used for what you're describing
and it still encourages laziness
if there were a worthwhile art to selection tools then I would suggest learning it before using magic wand. there IS an art to backgrounds and posing and everything that AI replaces. AI is just too powerful in the hands of an irresponsible artist who will never grow when they're tempted by the "do it all" button

Why are programmers using a language? just talk to the computer using 0 and 1s, it's more souful that way.
>>
>>738828073
you say that like they don't teach you to do that when you learn coding
I took 3 years of computer science and we DID learn to do that
because it's educational and valuable for higher level language
>>
Every time I've used AI I end up liking maybe 10% of the stuff it outputs. So I'm fine with game developers using it to make stuff, but not with it being implemented in the game.
Like say there's a painting on the wall of a house. A developer generating one would be:
>Dev uses AI to generates 10 paintings
>9 in 10 are shit
>Dev picks the best one and adds it, maybe even makes a few tweaks himself
>I see a convincing painting when I enter the house
>Immersion maintained
My PC generating it would be:
>I enter the house
>PC generates a painting
>9/10 chance it's shit
>90% chance I see a shit painting on the wall
>Immersion broken
I'm sure it'll get there eventually but there's a lot of low quality AI slop out there that's not inspiring confidence.
>>
>>738825952
the reason things like that (tons of dialogue) are cool is because in days of yore someone had to sit down and write all that dialogue themselves.
it had soul and meaning to it. using a retarded robot cheapens that experience.
but more than that. video games are art, what is art? art is the expression of a little slice of a human beings or beings. when you make a game or a tv show or a movie or any kind of a work of fiction. you're imprinting a little of your soul and who you are on it. which is the entire point of why we make and consume art. it's an expression of the human condition.
having some artificial intelligence robodick who can't think or feel or do anything other than guesswork and crapping out stuff based on an algorithm is insane. it is also insipid and boring.
am i going to pretend that there hasn't always been at least some made-by-committee garbage? no. but all AI is going to do is just make more garbage. except even worse garbage because at least the other garbage was made by people who were presumably trying to make a product people would enjoy and not twiki from buck rogers.
>>738826236
this isn't even remotely the same thing and you know it.
>>
>>738828070
Ah you're right, there's going to be way too many Rembrandts and Picassos now so no one can be talented anymore or recognized for their merit in their hobby. Also most 2025-202x art programs are using machine learning in their selection tools like Adobe Sensei or Photoshop.. photo wand is an algorithmic tool, a machine does the work for you, it performs an extremely complex mathematical seed-fill formula to what it identifies as a continuous region of pixels usually via color hex code with newer art programs allowing complex machine-learning assisted tools. A traditionalist would select the portions they wish to isolate by hand, it is clerical work but it prevents the artist from giving more work away to a machine and allows for you to act with deliberate precision versus relying on a clumsy machine to potentially muck it up and get its' mechanical stink on it!

if Evil Dead was filmed on the budget of like five dollars and half a ham sandwich and it turned out to be one of the greatest horror movies ever made. then im sure you can make one (1) painting for your video game.
and quite frankly if you don't have the patience to draw a fucking painting for your video game you probably shouldn't be making a video game in the first place

Immersion is all about fooling yourself. Visiting an actual house with a painting in real life is better than doing so in a video game. The video game doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be good enough so as not to break the illusion and make you "forget" you're playing a video game.
If AI can clear that bar, so be it, but if it's just a excuse to cut corners by shitting out some tung tung sahur pixar filter slop then that will break my immersion and I will not buy your game.

>>738825952
It's not if you know what you're doing but most people that were introduced to ai don't know how to code so they will get filtered
that hate on ai is artificial and people hate it for no obvious reason
>>
in the end, people won't notice if you coded 1 thing with AI, just as people won't notice if you used AI to fix a drawing or a sprite
if you use it strategically it's great, but if you use it to do literally everything at every point, then it's bad.

I swear there's going to be a lot of input done by AI in the future, if not done already and people won't notice if the function used to load the storage of an NPC was written by Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude.

This is the same thing as using a computer to help you edit photos vs doing it by analog methods, or using a computer to make 3D models instead of making them from clay, there's human and computer input in both of them. Sadly for people, doing more work doesn't mean the work is better.
>>
>>738825952
instead of singularity, AI will reach sloppularity. everything will be the same in very very short time (It already kind of is)
there will be a bottleneck when internet is 99% AI content and inbreeding of models becomes uncontrollable

If youre poor and cant afford to pay artists, musicians and whatnot I get it. Some other part of your game better be unique enough to make people trudge through the AI generated content to be worth their time. Otherwise dont be surprised when people call your work slop.

For large studios that can afford to pay their employees though, its really lazy and tells me how little your workmanship as a dev or brand as a publisher means to you. If you took pride in the things you do, you would be making sure you made the best possible content for the customer within reason. Not having a random image generator make it for you.
