Comment on Capcom is experimenting with generative AI to help generate the “hundreds of thousands of ideas needed for game development"

Corpo figurehead bloviating nonsense problems to justify paying fewer writers. Sure, just pay google to steal their ideas badly and at scale. As if they don’t already recycle and resell content constantly, you need an LLM to steal a riff on the Magnavox logo? Maybe leave the creative industry and make room for actual creatives.

it’s very funny because at the absolute most this maybe saves like, what, two steps in the best case? AI is so bad at this stuff that you have to human-edit it into something that looks good most of the time anyways

It’s reality shows all over again. (When it comes to TV anyway)

Remember the early 2000s sitcoms kinda went away because reality shows were the hot new thing and cheaper to produce?

  Those people were scabs during the 2000s writer strike, though. This guy is talking about replacing labor with stolen labor.

    The writers strike didn’t last a decade

    The Sopranos ran from 1999-2007. The Wire was 2002-2008. Its always sunny in philadelphia started in 2005. Curb your enthusiasm started in 2000. Scrubs started 2001. So its not even just that two of the most critically acclaimed shows of all time were made in that time period, but some of the most groundbreaking and influential comedy shows also. If you think breaking bad was some sort of turning point for TV you missed a lot of history.

…'cause creating a fictional TV is creative work. xD

  It definitely can be if a creative does it. Look at Max Payne, Persona 4, or Golden Light (pictured) if you want to see examples of artists doing it well. What absolutely won’t create a fictional TV that is elevated to the level of “good video game art” is some trash theft model.
