Baier-Lentz said that he's "shocked and sad" that the industry has not embraced generative AI, noting that the gaming business has previously pushed new technology forward.
Faster, cheaper, more capacity and capability. These things are pushed by the gaming industry. At first it was color monitors. Then it was gaming controllers, then sound cards, then video cards, then 3D cards, etc., etc.
Generative AI has so far just been an embarrassing show of C-levels thinking they just hired Skynet to replace their creative staff, then ending up in the news for their incompetence.
Look. "AI" rn is just auto complete. There may be an application for machines in doing some menial tasks, but most of the rest of the tasks (writing, animating, post processing, voicing) are currently done by humans, and those humans rightly oppose being replaced.
