Epic Games has reportedly delayed a shooter based on Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars franchises, with its developers told to use more AI. According to Bloomberg, the yet-to-be-named game was supposed to be released in March of 2027, but its launch date has been pushed back to an unspecified date. Aside from that, the company also told the people working on the project to switch to an "AI first" production model. One of the game directors was quoted telling staff that there will be “no more handwritten code” and that the game’s art would now be "generated with full AI workflows."
I get the use of AI is unavoidable but that's got to be so demoralizing to have a finely honed skill forcibly turned into vibe coding.
It is entirely avoidable.
It's avoidable if we stop having the fatalistic attitude that it's unavoidable. Support creators and businesses that don't use AI. Don't use it yourself. There's nothing AI can do that a human hasn't already been doing better for years.
I've been preaching the "vote with your wallet" mantra for over a decade now. Most people don't care about these things.
It’ll be very avoidable once the frontier models stop getting subsidized by idiot investors.
Musicians have been dealing with this forever. Player pianos to recording to samples and now the akai mpc breaks apart copyrighted songs into separate stems using gen ai. And it’s industry standard. Yall are just the people that cried about all of these things in the past.
