Games

AI is no where good enough for that. But these rich fucks want their customers to accept shitty quality and to force artists and developers to accept shitty pay so that they can keep more for themselves. Hence, they are so obsessed with AI.

Jokes on them. If they replace everyone's job with AI there will be a whole lot of unemployed people with nothing better to do other than build guillotines.

seeing what can be done with the tech to make each person’s experience unique, with bespoke quests and dialogue.

That being possible would be fundamentally a level up from what they are now. I've read a paper on this someone linked in a Lemmy thread a year or so ago.

Maybe one day playing a game like Skyrim for 10 years doesn’t have to mean playing the same quests over and over.

I think a more manual approach would work, of a world model like Crusader Kings has, with traits and ties and opinions and random events of NPCs between each other and towards the player, and that AI being used simply to rephrase and slightly adjust descriptions and sequences of events - then maybe.

But consider how many NPCs that means and how many others they meet in their simulated lives, and how hard it would be to debug a story line to ensure that it's always playable.

An LLM is not, strictly speaking, necessary here, and if used, doesn't make it easier.

"AI" can't do that, because we have nothing approaching artificial intelligence yet-we have a statistical model based on finding averages. it can only do mass produced pablum. all the quests will become the same 'a skyrim quest'. the technology currently being called "AI" will literally never be capable of doing this, at no scale, and it has largely reached the largest scale it can possibly work on with the amount of information available, and it's getting hapsburgy with the data equivalent of inbreeding+prions, so it can't really improve on future information.

and you can't really make something smart enough to do what you're describing well without being a person who would need autonomy and freedom and stuff, because slavery is bad. creativity is kind of a big deal.

and you are completely missing so god damn many of the points of art. which video games are.

I am playing that, and I don't know if the story always goes this way, or if I just suck so bad at speech craft and the game changed based on my dialogue failures, but Hans and Henry hate each other now.

I've seen lover's lab. I know what kind of things NPCs will be forced to call the player.

But it would also be tempting to name a character Jugemu Jugemu Go-Kō-no-Surikire Kaijari-suigyo no Suigyō-matsu Unrai-matsu Fūrai-matsu Kū-Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yaburakōji no Burakōji Paipo Paipo Paipo no Shūringan Shūringan no Gūrindai Gūrindai no Ponpokopii no Ponpokonā no Chōkyūmei no Chōsuke.

That requires creativity. CEOs don't have that trait.

Exactly. I think there are legitimate usages for this technology (eg voices for dynamic content, or when the original voice actor is dead or not available to voice again his/her characters). But everything should be done with the consent of the voice actors, and not in an attempt to replace the work that could be done by a voice actor in the first place.

It probably won’t happen, since money leads the way :/.

money is just a smoke screen.

it's about who does the work, who gets the rewards, and who decides what work gets done.

their ideal is: slaves, who get the bare minimum to survive, but not into old age. the king (which all of these delusional oligarchs think they'll be). the king (which all of them think they'll be).

I feel the same way about cryptocurrency, but with scams instead of jobs.

Just a reminder you can say fucking here. Fucking fuck shit you can, and holy fucking dogshit does that cunt fucking AI bullshit not even fucking work to replace a fucking intern, let alone a full ass engineer.
