Man EA just sucks.

Interesting...

The designer then goes on to give a rather rosy view of what AI technologies may be able to do down the line. "There is a ray of hope for those of you out there who would like to see Alice's story continued," says McGee. "And that is that the design bible, the complete story, the artwork, all of the chapters, the weapons, the enemies, everything that you could need to develop the new game: it all exists inside of the design bible that we produced.

"This thought is going to be controversial for some people but, mark my words, in a few years it will be something that makes a lot of sense for a lot of people out there. And that is that the design bible, as produced, is the perfect thing to feed into an AI system to have it completely build the game that is outlined in that design bible."

The idea of AI making a game all by itself is probably overly optimistic, but that AI may make it more realistic for an individual or small group to produce and distribute illegal fan games seems plausible.

That is impressive, but the scope of all those games is very small. Maybe it will get to the point where it can do a full featured 3d game.

It came out like two weeks ago project 4 years time. How does that look to you?

It is hard to say. You can't extrapolate the capabilities of AI linearly, because it's unknown whether the current rate of progress will plateau at some point or when. If it improves at a linear rate indefinitely, we're getting superhuman AGI and have a lot more to worry about than video games.

Yeah that's fair but I wouldn't put a cap on it. If a game developer takes 4 years to make a game, then that's the time period I'd want to assess though when comparing what AI might be able to do. Given the rapid development so far, I'd not bet it can't make a 3d game with the right amount of management.

But calling it worring is fair. It sure is a big unknown. I'm using it daily but I can see how using a team of 200 ai organised together to self regulate past their weaknesses, kind of already exponentially improves them and that sure is... Something.

Anyway just a thought to share that paper review on that YouTube and my thoughts. It's a strange world we are looking forward to.
