    Epic Games CEO and Fortnite boss Tim Sweeney:

    everyone will have to 'fess up to using it eventually as AI will become “involved in nearly all future production.”

    Once again Epic games act like the moronic villains they are.

      As an engineer, tell that to my seat-flattened ass Tim Apple.

      Companies that use AI in production are sewing the seeds of their own demise.

      Why do they say these stupid things as if they were giving an order?

      They can’t order people to buy their stuff, they can’t order their stuff to work when it doesn’t. Having “AI” in it doesn’t change the latter part in case they think otherwise, just got this idea.

      I suppose they like the change from the old “spend lots of resources, then scale indefinitely” with software development to the more traditional in other spheres “spend constant amount of resources for constant result”, and expect it will build hierarchies like everywhere.

      Well, companies were going bankrupt long before personal computing.

      I don’t know about Epic Games, I think I’ll play Oolite in free time when I’m done with my EU4 addiction. Or actually make something useful.

      True enough! No reason not to say it up front, right?

      Look y’all, not 1-in-20 people give a flying fuck about AI like we do on here.

        That is true, but for instance Ian M Banks predicted AI being able to make art already back in the 70’s in his Culture series of books.
        Even accurately simulating famous artists. And his conclusion was that AI should not make art at all, because it would end up detracting from the value of art.

        I think the reason the CEO is wrong, is that it will be a legal shitshow, and I think AI art may become illegal, or at the very least required to be clearly labeled as AI art.

        We will see how it turns out.

          I’ll call your bet and say that Sweeny is right. I think AI will become so commonplace that there will be no way around it and the market has already been streamlined in this direction.

          I would love it if my “feels” could be seen. But that is not reality. This battle is already long lost. Lemmy and the like can rage about it til their flames die out but it is a lost cause.

            There have already been several lawsuits against AI companies, where it is revealed that AI art is copied from existing original works.
            You may be right, but I don’t think that battle is lost quite yet.
            AI is mostly good for memes, beyond that it tends to quickly becomes repetitive, and of little value.
            Of course AI art generally has a human “director” guiding the AI on what to do. As I said previously we will see how it turns out.
            I’m not sure the end result of this will be within 10 years.
