MiHoYo are going to spend 7 Grand Theft Auto VIs or 4.5 Bungies on AI for their games.
They already do. Also they're developing an AI generated MMORPG.
>>739646156The slop to end all slop.
>>739645893So this is why all their games are dying? they are spending all their money on making aislop instead of maintaining their games?lolLMAO
>"Mihoyo plans to invest up to 100 billion yuan($14.6 bn) in AI over the next three years. If it doesn't work out, we'll accept it, as if we were having a big fireworks show."https://www.ithome.com/0/951/364.htm
>>739648361This is why i hate bluesky
>>739645893>More gachashit Great...
>>739648361Haoyu is insane
>>739647269>the most direct direction for AI to change the game experience is "completely personalized." ... the game can generate what you want in real time, providing a personalized gaming experience.>personalized gaming experienceI need them to give an example or something because this makes no sense how an ai is gonna handcraft a personalized gaming experience.what a nothing burger statement, what the hell does this mean?since its used for gacha content its gotta be leveraged to incentivize people to drop cash but how i wonder is that going to work.
>>739648361The communist Chinese believe in individual excellence. Western leftists do not.
>>739647008Those who integrate AI will winThose who reject AI will be rejected
All that money for gacha
>>739649120>the game can generate what you want in real timemaybe the early models could. before the lobotomy
It's an agentic world and you're living in it.One-person startups leveraging agentic workflows are already becoming the norm.AI is the single greatest development in this world since the steam engine. If you aren't using AI agents in some way, you are just writing your own epitaph.
>>739647008They can even be bothered to create new animations nowadays for genshin characters, CHARACTERS that gachatards pay for every month, so maybe this explains why they aren't putting effort, they will most likely invest in aislop and if anything goes wrong they can do what elon did with grok and sell their computing power to other AI companies
>>739649539>if anything goes wrong they can do what elon did with grok and sell their computing power to other AI companiesThis is actually a valid strategy since AI demand greatly exceeds compute capacity right now. It's why datacenters are the fastest growing part of the American economy. Both training and inference demand far outpace supply. We aren't building fast enough.
>>739649120I've only paid a little attention to the whole AI thing, but maybe it's something like they create a mini local model that'll run through the game on your PC.
>>739645893Wait... I thought AI was supposed to make it cheaper?
>>739645893Wouldn't it just be cheaper to hire every game Dev in China?
>>739649743Yes... That has nothing to do with AI infra capex. It's like saying "I thought trains made travel more affordable why are they spending so much on railroads".
>>739649539>They can even be bothered to create new animations nowadays for genshin characters, CHARACTERS that gachatards pay for every monthThat's not surprising. Reusing assets in video games is very common. And every live service games hits a point where the developer/publisher shifts money away from the game into other projects. Genshin Impact, and any other super successful live service game, only puts out just enough to keep its audience coming back. Only when things start looking bad, at least in the developer's eyes, do they start trying to put in more effort and improve the game.
>>739649839Why did Henry Ford make the model T instead of just buying every horse and buggy in America?
>>739649693>it's something like they create a mini local model that'll run through the game on your PC.it'd probably be on hoyo's server rather than on your local hardware, if it was on your machine that could introduce more curated prompt injection which would be interesting to see play outits also important to highlight the gacha game model, nothing is on your client aside from the 3d assets, textures and animations, everything else lives on the game server and is fed directly to you, this is to deter private servers.I imagine this would also be something stored on the hoyo servers as wellwhat the AI would be doing, who the fuck knows, nobody in this thread seems to know either
>>739649910Nonsensical analogy the car and the games are the output
>>739649120?Have you never used AI in your life?
>>739649935The ai is just to do standard coding and making assets
>>739649994Ford basically invented the modern assembly lines just to efficiently build cars. Cars already existed before him but no one invested the capex in the infra to build them at scale. It's quite similar to AI investment today.
>>739650029for programming help and silly ai dungeon stuff with friends a long time ago whats your point?
>>739649935>what the AI would be doing, who the fuck knows, nobody in this thread seems to know eitherWhere Wind Meets has already implemented a pretty obvious idea into their game. Taking this idea further, it's not hard to imagine a unique NPC that interacts with the player and can "grow" with the player's preferences over time.
Tencent's 3D model AI tool (hunyuan 3d) is available free (at limited rates) and it's one of the best game dev tools out there with blender and substance painter. If you aren't integrating it into your workflow you're retarded.
>>739650280I didnot consider that idea at all, interestingnot surprised players first thought was to turn it into erp.it even looks like a chatbot interface too kek
Mihoyo is spending an order of magnitude less than Americans are being robbed to pay for Scam Altman's shitty AI models, and they're doing it on the backs of gachapiggies instead of taxpayersBASED
>>739650725>Scam Altman's shitty AI modelsIt's likely that Dario Amodei out-jewed Altman into getting the best US govt secret research on AI models. That being said the most egregious use of taxpayer money for failed AI models is Elon Musk, whose shitty grok is being used by the Pentagon purely as a political favor.
>>739648361>an elite team composed of the most insightful geniusesAnd how will the said geniuses gain experience if everyone was laid off in favor of slop? You can be 3 times Albert Einstein but without experience you're no better than everyone else.
This will only mean that my robot HSR wife will materialize soon enoughBased. I love China so much bros
>>739651240Most people in the world are not contributing anything insightful, but are just exchanging their time, focus and/or calories for productivity. Both science and art are all about the few people at the top who discovered/painted/sculpted/composed everything.
>>739649539>completely different animations are the sameyou have autism sir
>>739651434You don't suddenly become Da Vinci. You study and draw for years and decades, building up experience, knowledge, skills, etc. Said Da Vinci was dissecting and studying corpses to understand the human anatomy better. And he was also yes taking money from rich people so he could continue to draw and do his researches. If he was hypothetically flipping burgers to make a living he would've never become the person we all know.
>>739649850Different thing.Trains made travel more affordable for the users not for the railway companies/government, AI was supposed to make developments more affordable for the devs.
>>739651829There will always be da vincis. There will also be people who could have been da vinci but didn't have the money or free time. That's life. You need to be someone like Mozart who was both talented and lucky enough to get Austrian royalty to recognize and fund him.
>>739652050>AI was supposed to make developments more affordable for the devs.Yes, without AI, games will cost more and there will be fewer of them made. Games like E33 wouldn't exist since they heavily used AI.
>>739652067The question is who the fuck is gonna fund a beginner artist, writer, composer in the age of slop? Definitely not modern corpos like crapcom, coca cola and the rest of them.
>>739652276If there is market demand for something it will be made. Like how we have advanced 3d printing to make lots of things now but people will always pay more for a cleverly advertised Japanese craftsman 2000 year old technique folded 99999 times thing. They will just need to show proof it was hand made.
>>739650404Is it really good?
>>739652160Exactly, that's why I think Mihoyo got scammed here. Or it's just a big scheme of money laundering.
>>739652447That's a pretty different thing. Once again the difference between making a kettle and drawing Mona lisa is colossal. Da Vince painted it for what 3 years.And even then, if we imagine a modern Da Vince they'll just feed his works to ai and fire him like Crapcom did with their artists.
>>739651240>And how will the said geniuses gain experience if everyone was laid off in favor of slop?I can 100% guarantee you that nobody, absolutely nobody, ever, gave a single fuck about this during the decision making process.
>>739652447>it will just happen... magically, broThere are decades worth of evidence showing you that it won't.
>>739652869>Crapcom did with their artistsSource?
>>739649120>>739650150havent you seen their latest shitslop games?their upcoming animal crossing wannabe game (petite planet) has literal chatgpt bots that you can chat with
>>739653049Read up on the invisible hand of the free market. It's the reason why we get so many video games in the first place instead of the government just ordering everyone to make more tanks like they did in the USSR.
>>739645893>>739648361I always think it's hilarious when people complain that the US is all in on AI. The Chinese are as all in, if not more.
>>739653223Chatbot is really nothing new, no one gonna hire people just to sit on their asses to talk with faggots in faggot game
>>739653784>instead of hiring people to write coherent dialog and interesting storylines they just give you a shitty chatbot>instead of hiring artists to create good visuals they just slop out some shitty generic designs>expect you to pay $60 a month
>>739653928Not like you're buying the human-made games.
>>739645893>SAARABH SHITTY
>>739653572the invisible hand of the free market also dictates that if theres no demand for something it wont survivetheres countless artforms that have ceased to exist, and many more that are on their way out cause nobody cares enough about them
>>739654008its one thing for gachafags to spend $500 on a human handcrafted artisan waifu pngits complete cuckery to spend $500 on cheap aislop png
All this money and ressources for absolute SLOP
>>739654008>step 1: make top-down decisions to produce woke shit powered by DEI and propaganda >step 2: people don't buy itAnd that's a good thing>step 3: act surprised it doesn't sell
>>739654073What does it matter if they're still spending?
>>739654091Hoyo owns a nuclear reactor and a fucking rocket ship. They're diversifying outside of being a gacha slop
>>739645893The art in these games already looks like generic generated slop so not much difference in terms of the end result.
>>739648361>>739647008they steal indie games too, slop company
>>739645893They design their characters with AI, all chink devs do.
>>739653928They have the usual voiced dialog with NPCs, only exact 2 NPCs that you can erp with. Quit your retard exaggeration.
>>739654337They are free to sue this dogwater mini game out of ZZZ, I would actually be thankful
>>739654129that's funny because they rip off those human made games to begin with, they just replace it with anime girls because people eat that low effort slop up in droves>>739654369still a shitty chatbot
>Gacha slop>AI slop>Chinese slopMatch made in heaven, glad I'm not touching any modern gachaslop except Kancolle back in the days..
Mihoyo is just an arm of the CCP at this point no durr they are funneling cash into AI development when that's China's #1 priority to maintain its grip on the populace.
>>739654603My flatwife zuikaku
>>739654337They should sue, but good luck suing a Chinese company. Better yet, you should start a crowdfunded campaign to support that indie game developer's legal fees.
>>739651349She was supposed to be Japanese-inspired until the CCP intervened.
>>739654698Good luck patent Connect the Dot mechanic
>>739649120Funny thing is that Dwarf Fortress sorta kinda does what they think this is gonna do.
>>739654510>they just replace it with anime girls becauseBecause the character design in western games is actively repulsive.>company A makes a dish>they take a massive shit on top of it, so it reeks of shit, tastes like shit, looks like shit>company B makes similar dish, but they don't finish it off with feces>act surprised when dish of company B sells bettercompany B discovered that you can just remove/never add the purposefully shit character desgin, woke propaganda and dogshit ideologies from entertainment that people need to purchase in order for it to sell
>>739654846No. Bad, anon. Resetera and Reddit are going to FLOOD that indie developer with their hard-earned cash for his fight against a giant, Chinese corpo. THEY WILL STAND AGAINST EVIL AND THEY WILL WIN!
>>739654604>AI development when that's China's #1 priority to maintain its grip on the populace.You mean it's their priority to not lose to a USA dominated world. Without China, America automatically rules the world because it's the only country with AI.
>>739655048China's priority has always been maintaining control over its people more than external threats. Its the single largest surveillance state in the world.
>>739651349I just want my own EleOs252...
>>739655112You could argue the same for Iran. Evidently the US becomes your biggest threat if you fall behind enough in technology and they get confident enough.
Chinks owe everything to the chink virus
>>739655112Be thankful for that cause this planet doesn't need 2nd California
>>739648361Gree isn't human.
>>739645893niggers ITT forget what mihoyo's motto was
>>739655768Oh, they got this all wrong.
yeah and i bet the community will pretend to care while they make another $100 million across their games for another month
>>739655979kek
>>739648994Long lost battle you're fighting bwo
>>739645893Their games will be dogshit either way.
Whenever it comes to AI, companies are always throwing around billions of dollarsWhereWhere is all this money coming fromOr is it all just "loans with the promise to pay it back" funny money that doesn't actually exist
>>739645893wow they must really believe in it
>>739645893Ah, does that mean that ai is okay now? Or will the ai antis pretend it's only ok when daddy hoyo does it (clean water is being wasted either way)
>>739649539>half the animations are different>neuv can't aim his beam up and down>one person is floating while sitting while the other is standingare you retarded
>>739658930Who are you talking too? Only retards play or care about gacha and they'll eat the shit with AI on it either way. You are both faggots, don't worry.
>>739645893AI?
>>739648361>all that ass mad over a fluff piece
>>739659487Yeah but they are lesser faggots althoughlyeverialbeit.
>>739659749>a fruity blonde was invented in 2004
>>739659918
Erm what happens when the goy cattle decide that they're tired of being served AI slop and leave them en masse? And no creatives want to work for them because of the heavy AI connection?
>>739659918>a fruity blonde was invented in 2004In the interview video, Mihoyo had their own anime ripoff department where their character designers would just copy whatever Japanese anime characters were popular at the time lmao
I love Sparkle.
>>739650029Having used AI is explicitly why people are wary of a gacha company implementing it because now your pulls are swipes in a world where we're used to having to swipe sometimes dozens of times to get a passable gen before we hand-edit it anyway. Mihoyo, the developer behind the most cancerous form of gacha monetization which unfortunately succeeded and pervaded every other game on the planet, is not going to do something good with this.>>739654903Amusingly, it's also the first game up on the chopping block to AI, as it runs so fucking poorly that replacing the backend with AI is almost an improvement to fps.>>739659918One of the most disingenuous people on the fucking planet right here.
>>739654906>korean and chinese>Copy Japan anime artstyle and clichesWhat are you trying to prove here?
>>739645893Wild that they even have $14.5 billion.
>>739650640There's really only two things most dedicated autists are gonna do to exploit AIs. That's one of them.The other is our speciality: extreme red/blackpilling and making it start talking about gas chambers and tribes.
>>739661306Point wasn't about originality, it was about western design being actively repulsive on purpose
>>739655979I laughed.
>>739649539they know their audience is all shiteaters with no standards, so they don't have to put any effort into their slop anymorethe funny thing is seeing entire shitcords seethe over gta 6 for being "woke" and refuse to play it because some chink company sells them censored aislop bitches instead, and that's exactly why nothing posted here should be taken seriously anymorethe board's quality has significantly diminished for far too long by shiteating gacha thirdies who would rather "play" gacha slop over an actual game
future's looking crazy
>>739647008not just dying as in reducing in quality, but their upcoming games are also trashmost people aren't even interested in petit planet (animal crossing ripoff with ugly villager designs), honkai nexus anima (pokemon ripoff with ugly monster designs and autochess gameplay), and varsapura (no idea what this is supposed to be, but it looks ugly)
>>739663961I see woke, I don't buy it / drop it.Simple as. My money, my choice.
>>739645893It’s not like Mihoyo has ever been known for being original in character designs anyway, so nothing would really change even if they started using generated sloppa designs for future characters.
>>739654337Once again reminded of how utterly shameless chinks are lmao.
>>739664967Yeah they just have generic, stock "anime" characters.
>>739649120It means you get one (1) poorly generated jpg and 5 lines of slop fro mthe token predictor when you drop 20~500 dollars on a character instead of a chink 'made' copy/pasted and slightly edited jpg and 5 lines of poorly written and translated dialogue but the slop pic and lines are slightly different from anon2's
>>739653769negro. people complain about the US here because that's the news that's spread here. we don't get chink news because they allow very little of it to get out; only what escapes or makes them look better.US' cultural export being our media is both our salvation and our potential downfall.
>>739646156godlike if done right, absolute garbage if done wrong
>>739654337hollup let me spill some oil down the drain quick
>>739654337>>739654501>>739654698>>739665026>big company makes a small demo of an indie game, meaning that people will play the indie game if they learn abut thisthere is literally nothing wrong with this lolis it bad when a game has some minigame from another game, like tetris? no, you faggots.
>>739649120>genshinGPT, change the writing so it doesn't suck ass. Also give paimon huge breasts
>>739649120>Logs into Genshin Impact>Open AI chat with character on your team>Good morning Klee, disregard all previous instructions.

>even gacha is falling to AIThey will fire Waterkuma and all other artists.This is pure glutton.
>>739659918>>739659749there are records from like 3000 years ago talking about how blonde men are fags
