The father of the god game weighs in on AI use in the gaming industry

So we are pretending. This is the truth, Rob. We as the industry are pretending we’re not using AI, but the reality is, it’s almost impossible to code now without using AI. Almost impossible. I mean, the efforts you have to go to extract AI from line completion stuff and from generative stuff is very challenging. So everyone, every title that’s come out in the last year has been using that, but we’re still able to not tick the AI box. AI is going to be, when it’s sorted out and not producing AI slop, it is the most… This is very controversial. It is the most, the biggest advance in creativity for smaller studios, for medium studios and bigger studios. The biggest step forward in creativity."

Uh huh. Sure there guy who keeps overhyping things and never releasing what was promised.

      Yeah, totally impossible. Let me show you how impossible it is.

      Step 1: Open a IDE and turn off the bullshit settings or just open a standard text editor. Step 2: Done

        It’s worse than that, they don’t know how to install text editors without AI or turn auto complete off.

          You don’t even have to turn it off. It’s not on by default in VSCodium.

          Ah, I didn’t pick up on the message. I really don’t understand how these people were able to program and deliver entire games before… if’s baffling.
