An unusually wholesome exchange on X. We could use more of that. Velan mostly worked on VR/AR games, Mario Kart Live for instance. If this Star Fox is successful, I wonder if they’ll become a regular, partner developer for Nintendo.
@DestructoDisk Regular people are already being harmed by AI before any bubble burst has happened. I was sure that was the point I was making earlier. At least if/when a bubble burst happens, it will shake investors out of their stupor over the AI hype. We already live in a world where much of Gen Alpha can't even focus on a book. The last thing they need to improve their cognitive skills is a tool that eliminates the need to develop those skills.
There's a lot of things to hate GenAI for, many of which I'm sure have been brought up. In regards to using it to produce background assets, that's something a few junior artists/graphic designers would have happily done. And they almost certainly would've done a better job! And would have something cool for their portfolio!! GenAI is taking away tasks that would have gone to entry level employees, thus preventing them from gaining experience to further their careers. JUST MAKE THE AI BUBBLE POP ALREADY!!!
I wonder if Hidetaka Miyazaki will give condolences, considering how inspired he was by the Fighting Fantasy books. He couldn't read English back then, so surely Blanche's artwork played a key part in exciting his imagination.
