I am highly against AI gaming on principle, it really takes the artistic element out of making games. It is telling, at least for me, that all success stories relating to AI games are related to recreating already existing stuff or collating stuff from already existing games without any intentionality or consistency, since there isn't an actual design behind it.
I am sure you already know why that is, but for those that don't know, it is because AI is absolutely useless without being trained, fed, something to learn from.
I am against it myself as well. I don't care for it at all. I used to make a decent living writing press releases and other copy for companies. I remember when AI was picking up steam, getting much better at writing, and people called me an idiot, a dumbass, boomer, etc for sounding the alarms over how this is going to decimate written creativity.
Most of that vitriole came from other arts such as graphics artists, game programmers, video editors, etc that felt AI could NEVER replicate what they do.
It didn't take long but not only has AI copied them, it has surpassed many of them in the business world as well.
AI really needs to be put to use in areas that people are needed but it sucks, it is hard, it takes decades to learn, etc. Things like medical research, code cracking, etc. Not the fun stuff, the stuff that people find solace in, find enjoyment doing.
Sadly, we are on the time line focused on the latter instead of the former.
I agree with you, it all feels off somehow. Some is easier to spot than others but it all feels off even in minute ways.
There are people that are flooding streaming services with AI generated music and making bank because it is pretty much indistinguishable from actual singers and musicians practicing their craft. It is disgusting.
Sadly, in general, people are lazy and businesses are cheap. Those two elements mean AI is only going to get more powerful and used for far more than most of us even wanted to think it was going to be used for.
It is sad that AI is being used that way. So many menial tasks could be automated with AI freeing up untold numbers of hours of effort each year by people.
Instead we have AI making bad looking fake action figures of people, people automating social media accounts only for greed (Threads by Meta is absolutely overrun with AI bot accounts ever since they introduced monetization), and more.
We have teens using AI to figure out how to get out of going out with friends while businesses are using AI to filter candidates for a job.
I don't see a positive outcome from all this reliance on AI. It is quite dumbing down of people in real time either professionally or in a more personal manner.
All these AI programs and we don't have apps or anything readily available to help with dinner choices based on ingredients available (I know there was a website at one point but it was never really promoted or popular).
Cars with computers in them but no AI to tell the driver exactly what that light on the dash means, pull local repair shops etc (auto repair industry can't have that happen).
AI could be amazing in helping customize lesson plans for teachers if it was setup correctly. Following along with test scores, answers, etc to help pinpoint areas students are struggling with. That could eliminate TONS of hours of work for the teacher, reduced to a few minutes for results. But no, we have to have AI working on rewriting some tired useless get rich scheme so people can sell it to the AI bots programmed to find money making opportunities on social media.
It is disgusting when you think about all the ways AI could be used to help improve lives but it is being wasted on Simpsons photo filters being animated or whatever the latest digital crap that is being made to be forgotten before Friday gets here.

Yeah, it seems everyone wants to automate creativity instead of making everyone's life easier and giving people more time to actually create stuff.
