A new study attempts to prove gamers aren't sold on AI, but I didn't think the effects were this significant

A new study from Game Oracle demonstrates the negative effects the use of AI can have on sales (and reputation). There's a lot to unpack here, but the main message is resounding: we're not yet ready for the future of gaming.

It’s a different story for the more established studios with an existing following and previous titles. Game Oracle found that the use of AI by these studios resulted in a significant 40% to 60% drop in sales.

That’s a huge difference. AI stigma seems to hit competent developers with a lot to lose the hardest, and I’m not sure that game studios are ready to accept it.

    Nature can create things that never existed before. What makes you think we, as natural beings, can’t?

    That isn’t to say generative AI can never mimic nature’s ability to generate totally new things, but this current technology doesn’t even try. It only remixes the data in the training set, it never makes anything truly new.

      Nature can’t technically create, it can only re-arrange to make higher order creations out of smaller building blocks.

      I don’t think we’re coming at things from the same lens at all and I don’t think it’s worth continuing this discussion.
