Ai needs to become a part of gaming, do long as it doesn’t encroach on jobs. If anything, it’ll add jobs for people who specialize in ai. Games have huge limitations that can be fixed with ai, such as real time graphics and textures management, and more importantly voice work. Games are very limited in how much dialogue the NPCs repeat etc, and ai can fix this by using the already performed dialogue and stretching it, that doesn’t take anyone’s job, it just makes the game better.
We have to make sure people aren’t losing their jobs or being taken advantage of, studios need to unionize, but I refuse to have a knew jerk reaction that limits new and useful technology. The problem with AI is in the stock holder’s meetings and board room, not in the technology itself.
