  This is the gaming industry, though; their primary target market is children. They’re naive because they’re children. Maybe there’s some masochists out there volunteering for the abuse, but this is really adults failing to protect kids, by allowing it to be legal to use psychology tricks and gambling mechanics on minors.

  “What do you get for the guy that has everything?” 😂

  Mr. “Platinum Yendorian Express” over here!

  I’m pulling for you over here! I never made it past the fortress fight after Medusa.

  Imagine my great sorrow when I discovered that turning Perseus back to a man didn’t make him friendly! 🥺

  Regardless of why anyone involved did the the things they did, the rules were clearly stated. The violation of the rules may have been an honest mistake, but that doesn’t change the facts at hand.

  Furthermore, even if they removed every bit and pixel produced by or with the help of AI didn’t make it to the production release, the fact remains that it was used in the production process. It is hard to give them the benefit of the doubt on this part; how could it have slipped their mind that they did this?

  The awards are a contest with rules just like any other contest, and the rules are what makes it a contest in the first place. If football ignored some of their rules, it would just be a big field with 22 guys beating the shit out of each other for a ball.

  This massive new economic sector that is eclipsing the GDP of most nations combined in under 10 years, which is almost entirely subsidized by a combination of venture capital, which is being forced in to any product that involves electricity regardless of suitability, this industry and that loses money every time a user interacts with it (even the paying customers) is not a bubble?

  Please, enlighten us on what you think an economic bubble is. A lot of us were around for the dotcom bubble; to say it was not one, when we were standing there watching the market rise into the stratosphere and come crashing down, is a bit much.

  You may be able to have more involved conversations with an LLM-powered NPC, and it won’t be pre-scripted at repeated, but it is still likely to be both nonsense and not necessarily relevant to the game loop and may be setting-inappropriate dialogue. The pre-scripted and repeated dialogue would almost surely not have those problems the LLM would.

  Its important to remember that these LLMs are grievously power-hungry for what they do, so if they only trade one problem for another, you must also consider the loss of efficiency as yet another problem, even if its not always that big of one.
