Fuck AI

I mean, AI in games can be neat.

As a specific example, consider Rimworld mods that generate conversations for characters, flesh out bios, make portraits based on their in-game traits. For free, on lightweight community finetunes that run on your PC.

…I like that. I like how it’s tightly integrated and a good fit, yet also “optional flavor,” not the foundation of a game.

What no one wants is AI Bro bullshit like:

...A group discussion about how the games industry can "capitalize on shifting trends in customer engagement.”

keep AI out of games

Good luck, its here to stay, get used to it lol.

Anyone who thinks the average developer isnt using AI heavily in their code is delusional, its been baked into every major IDE for like 2 years now.

Its in there, its permeated every layer of game dev, it works when you use it right, and the only time people care is when you make it obvious (IE including it in your final art of the game)

But no one even blinks an eye at all the other layers AI is used in unless you announce it.

You should just assume every game you play made after 2024 has chunks of it that are AI generate. The plot, writing, code... its in there, and you prolly haven't even noticed.
