    Makes me wonder what you see.

    No I don’t see dystopia at all; dystopia is what leads to destabilization and revolution; neither of those are good for profits.

    Certainly it’s possible, but Im not going to pretend like I can accurately predict what the future holds.

    What I’m not going to do is make up my mind that in the future this trend is incapable of producing new, fun, well made games. It just baffles me when I hear people say that they’ll never touch a game that used AI; like a developer can generate placeholder art and that kills the game for them? What? I just don’t understand this moral road block some people have.

    Certainly right now the human mind and our creativity is miles beyond AI, but I don’t think it’s impossible for AI to reach an equal level; and you better believe if it does it’s going to rocket passed us.

    I would love to live in a world where I can just click a button and AI generates a new Skyrim, or a Witcher; although that’s probably very far out, if at all.

    And I don’t see job loss from AI as an exetential threat. I think the current lay offs in MOST fields are a mistake and they’ll be rehired. Like everyone is already saying, currently AI is just another tool that can accelerate the game development process; and anything that accelerates that processes decreases the cost of production which in turn increased competition. And I think that’s always a good thing.

    The entire energy and water issue you’re raising is absolutely a non-issue for me. The model T got 13 miles to the gallon when it released; had no catalitic converter and basically zero safety features. Yet it was still a net benefit to humanity and was just a stepping stone towards the growth of humanity.

    Energy use is the hallmark of a modern society; there is absolutely no path towards advancing humanity without forever increases energy use. AI can use energy from renewable sources. Data centers need exactly zero water input if designed that way; and if their current water use is actually an issue then I’m fine with government regulating its consumption.

    That’s my book I guess. Please don’t quote every line I wrote and respect and to each individually; such an unatural way to have a conversation and I hate the internet for it.

      Mmm, I figured your opinion would line up with the line of thinking techbros tend to share. It was nice talking to you, have a good day.

      Love how you called out the OC for “writing a book” but then go off like this.

      I think you’re self-centred and need to read more into how big corporations take advantage of poorer communities by leveraging resources be it water, trees, or land and ravage them.

      The food industry for example has many of these cases like palm trees, deforestation, over fishing, etc. are all really strong example of this.

        I love how you loved the joke, and didn’t get it at the same time.
