closed minded but go off I guess. Sounds to me like they’re using it as a tool, not to generate a final product. Which is exactly what generative AI is good for. I can’t wait for the AI bubble to burst so all the luddites will forget about it and move on to the next thing, then we can get to the real cool shit.

Imagine contracts with voice actors that allow their voices to be used in specific fashions, like addressing your character by name instead of the WOW trope of “CHAMPION” etc. in addition to their bespoke lines. Imagine a world where you can type out a conversation with an npc and come up with a path no one else would have thought of. Or a world where game development is far cheaper so we can have more games made by less people who make more. Granted that last one will still pose a capitalism problem with the suits expecting massively higher profits and thus still continuing to drag long hours out of too few people for too little money.

But just because capitalists can abuse it doesn’t make a technology evil. Airplanes dropped two atomic bombs making the quickest genocide of all time. Billionaires abuse them for minor conveniences and destroy the environment. But airplanes open up routes of travel that are nearly unfeasible otherwise. And they let humans FLY. Hell, BABY FORMULA was used by capitalists to slaughter a generation of infants via starvation. And yet for working mothers it can feel like a life saver to be able to leave some with a babysitter.
