A new study attempts to prove gamers aren't sold on AI, but I didn't think the effects were this significant

A new study from Game Oracle demonstrates the negative effects the use of AI can have on sales (and reputation). There's a lot to unpack here, but the main message is resounding: we're not yet ready for the future of gaming.

It’s a different story for the more established studios with an existing following and previous titles. Game Oracle found that the use of AI by these studios resulted in a significant 40% to 60% drop in sales.

That’s a huge difference. AI stigma seems to hit competent developers with a lot to lose the hardest, and I’m not sure that game studios are ready to accept it.

    I mean, do you watch those videos and think to yourself “this is it – this is the destination – we’ve done it”?

    Look, it’s an objective fact that people have a hard time distinguishing AI generated video from real video. So your whole argument that “this looks horrendous and nobody could ever like it” is just incorrect. Pointing to technical problems doesn’t change the fact that this could move video games towards photorealism especially while animated. It might not work out, but you’re saying nothing that precludes it.

    You clearly hate AI and hate anyone who likes anything about it. But that blinds you to reality.
