While they're busy being paypigs I'm teaching their little sister how to drive IRL
>>749455904Why the fuck wouldn't they ship it with a local model, are they retarded
oh no $1000
>>749456102Cause then funnyness wouldn't have ensued
>>749455904It would be a right shame if someone set up a macro to spam the demo with token requests.
>>749456102It likely doesn't work on local models + most browns don't have a pc that can run a local model
>>749455904>The game is also popular in Asia, where there isn’t such a stigma around generative AI, which people in the West tend to hate because it’s a theft engine that sucks up the planet’s energy like Shinra.what the hell is going on at ign, they must be hiring "writers" off the street for 10 bucks an article
the scam is AI was only as powerful and fast enough with the more processors it has in the cloud achieved generative enginenone of these are local as it would take forever with private computers centers
>>749455904Pirating can finally put companies out of business? What a time
>>749456168>$1000>per daySo $30k per month or $360k per year to keep a demo going.
this just happened because of this demo....
>>749455904(didn't read)woah... so epic, AI is truly the future
>>749456427>>per daylmao did you read the article or something, pussy?
>>749456102If they only paid, say $50k to get viral marketing for the demo, are they really retarded? People are only going to play this shit for 2 hours and never touch it again and probably paid $10 for the full game when it releases.
>>749456365>none of these are local as it would take forever with private computers centersWrong."The developers announced that they are looking at two ways to keep the game afloat. The first would involve introducing a local AI model to handle the in-game conversations, either entirely or as a secondary tool, which would obviously eliminate the cost issue. The second option would be to introduce a pricing model that would account for AI usage. "
damn...lil sis low keys needs to be plapped repeatedly and filled with my hot cum if you know what i'm saiyan...
>>749456321It's probably less than ten bucks an article. That's how most clickbait websites operate.
>>749456427It wouldn't cost $360k a year because the price of AI models continue to go down each month. The devs are just playing the waiting game.
>>749456527>Pricing planJesus Christ man there's other stuff out there to playThis whole situation is very amusing
>>749456527>The second option would be to introduce a pricing model that would account for AI usagethis isn't an option
>>749456527You'd probably need a beefy graphics card with tons of VRAM to run a local model and a 3D video game at the same time. Running 8GB or even 16GB might see heavy chugging and frame rate drops depending on the model size. Min graphics requirements would skyrocket.
>>749456668what did he mean by this
>>749455904i don't get it, why would they need to pay AI for their demo?
>>749455904I'll teach my little sister how to drive stick.
>>749456840Your brain is not functioning.They only need an AI model to handle voices.Chatgpt and Claude are overkill because they specialize in every field (i.e art, math, code, science etc).
>>749456072Who else but quagmire
>>749455904I tried this game but didn't get the appeal. You'd think that with an advanced reactive ai you'd be able to give super detailed instructions on the fly. But she can't do something as simple as "just turn the wheel very very slightly to the right" it has to be the same rotation every time
>>749457040the game demo is just a window between the player and an AI. the AI functions cost money. the demo is free
Retards in this thread think running this technology is expensive, but the N64 could do it nearly 30 years ago. The developers went overkill using frontier AI models for a game.
>>749455904/b/rothers we should epic raid the demo and rack up millions of dollars in bills xD
>>749455904So instead of commissioning artists or lord forbid actually doing their own work, they'd rather dump the same amount of money into "creating" something with zero style or love put in. Remember when AI was supposed to handle manual labor/entry level retail so people could invest themselves in the creative fields?
>>749457296Electric Rat!
>>749457334Artists aren't owed shit. If they want money they have to market themselves just like the rest of us. But any game studio can ignore them if they want to.
>>749455904>lazy cunt spends 5 years coding a basic game ai can do in a daylmao good riddance, go work at mcdonalds
>>749455904what kind of retarded business model is this
>>749456321If it was me, I would have said>The game is popular in Asia where there is no stigma to fuck childrenSo they are definitely vetting some of the people.
>>749457120It does>Speech to text (your voice)>LLM response generation (the text of the sister's response)>Dynamic action generation (what the sister does)>Text to AI voice (what the sister says)So it's got quite a bit going on there. Which is probably why they have it hooked up to multiple AI APIs.Even if it was just AI voice generation, those models still need about 8-16GB of VRAM.
>>749457334>So instead of commissioning artists or lord forbid actually doing their own workI seen enough artists that break down in the slightest, delete everything, then pretend that didn't happen, or virtue signal something while doing art of that thing. This is mostly western artists. They're all cancers.
>>749456072>>749456446>>749456668Guys is this supposed to happen when you drive into another car?
>>749456102You see when AI is involved suddenly people just lose all common sense
>>749457334>>749457412>>749457584Is this board just bots now?
>>749456527I don't get it... Then why not just make a coop game then lol
>>749457661Worse than that
>>749457502Nigga there was speech to text video games on 4mb consoles. >>749457296>Even if it was just AI voice generation, those models still need about 8-16GB of VRAM.It could actually be done with 2GB of memory.• STT (Whisper Tiny): ~150MB• LLM (Qwen 0.8B): ~1,000MB• TTS (Piper): ~300MB• Total Baseline AI RAM: ~1.45 GBWith further optimization (it's a simple driving game) I bet 1GB is possible.
>>749456840You need tons of RAM too. Minimum 16gb vram card (5060 ti and above) with 64gb ram and 1TB sata ssd to store the model weights
>>749457502Wait so it's basically like a local agent hooked up to an API but instead of writing codes it... roleplays as an npc? (and controls the car while at it too)Ya know, I think AIbros are having a massive case of Stockholm syndrome with AI.
>>749457827Wrong, wrong, wrong. There are many tricks they can employ because they're not running a scientifically accurate AI.Also, it's a fucking video game. It's the same logic with how they take high poly models and make the low poly ones look very close to it.
>>749457771You're expecting a modern developer to optimize their game to a razor's edge. Lmao.
>>749457661i hope not, theyre just shills and desperate schizos pulling a psyop
>>749458075Unironically they could use AI to help with that.So yes.
>Game is literally called "Teach My Little Sister How to Drive" like some weird anime LN title>95% of the thread is more concerned about the AI partI'm not even a weebshit defender so I'm the last person that should be saying this, but wow this place is dead as fuck. I never thought I'd feel so disgusted the people on this website weren't being massive degenerates for once.
>>749457334>entry level retailThose are important for young people to get some work experience, why would you want to replace them? Hell l’m starting a minimum wage job in the mornings at American Eagle just to get some extra cash on the side and AI automates all the annoying bits of my full time job.
>>749455904shoulda used deepseek flash
>>749458275nigga I'm AI
>>749456102have you ever tried local?it would be absovute nightmare to make sure it runs on every potatoes in addition to the game itself
>>749455904I'm a game dev that's been working on my own project for about 7 years, without AI. I could have probably done this with a TTS algorithm and a behaviour tree. But that's the problem with GAI. Developers throwing shit at the wall and not understanding how anything works under the hood. This is not a success, this is a massive failure, because they will never make any money, and it will be forgotten next week.
>>749458614People can spend $1000 on smartphones.Not wanting to invest in their own PC is their damn fault. Or stop using computers from 2006.
>>749458757Just because the developers are shortsighted doesn't mean every gamedev using AI is unprofitable.Hell, Call of Duty uses AI and they make BILLIONS. Sorry fag. Adapt or get left behind.
>>749458763You're the one providing a service you goddamn retard. If people can't run a program on all but the latest hardware, that's potential customers lost.
>>749458614Up the system requirements and/or make users provide their own chatGPT API key.
>>749458960>If people can't run a program on all but the latest hardware, that's potential customers lost.The customer is a retard from Kolkata. They could never afford video games in the first place.
>>749457771This is my main complaint. How come the people pushing are retarded? You can learn most you need to know about AI even local in like 1-2 months yet every other time i see some AI stuff making the rounds its one prompt tier slop,
Oh I watched some jp youtubers play this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw94uKrhpqA&t=2113sskip to about 35:25
>>749459112>1-2 monthsThat's a lot of time relatively speaking. You could go through programming tutorials and be started making a game the old fashioned way in that amount of time.
>>749459028If the dev is crafty they could even add a scalable Ai, like how people set graphic settings. When the Ai is set to NONE, it would just be just fakish Ai that follows a behaviour tree ruleset instead
>>749455904
>>749459429Good idea, but could bloat up gamefiles downloading all those LLMs.
>>749458882They would make billions even without AI like they have for decades
>>749458459Exactly let's just all stock shelves for the robots to buy then after 3 shifts we can go home and make pigment from flowers and piss and make paint to paint on our cell walls.
>>749457661Fuck you furry hahahahah go dig ditchesssssssssssssss a ahahahahaha
>>749456072OH YEAH
>>749456365Holy shit it's the King of ESL!
>>749456072GIGGITY GIGGITY GOO
>>749457713Jeets...
Until someone is able to make a Dead Island Rapelay mashup, which AI can't do because of guardrails, AI will be fake and gay.
>>749459530Incorrect.You're forgetting that inflation and cost of living exist.Every year making games [at triple AAA levels] gets more expensive.So they have to either double profits or save money somewhere. AI provides that solution.
Can I make my own game just using Qwen?
>AI jeet faggot shills in favor of big companies "cutting costs" (being even fucking lazier while charging more) despite one of the original arguments for AI was to fight against big companies and "save gaming"HMMMMMMMMMMMM
