Is logic in the room with us?
Seemingly not, but thats to be expected with Musk.
Probably not, hes a CEO.
They certainly dont want it normalised, especially as companies likeUnityandUbisoftare already implementing it in their own workflows.
But Im not worried about it, and heres why.
PlayStation can offer little that competitors dont already provide.
They could rupture my tendons before I knew what was happening.
Hes peddled conspiracy theories aboutAmerican politicians,vaccines, and the2020 US presidential election.
Hes the king of baseless yapping.
Dont take much of what he says seriously.
With his track record, hell probably drive the whole operation into the ground.
Lets say he does manage to set up a studio.
Realistically, a wholly generative-AI run studio will simply not make a good game.
As we all know, generative AI is incapable of creativity or critical thought.
It cant solve problems its never encountered before.
Why would Musk be able to do it?
Who cares about people losing their livelihoods when Assassin’s Creed has a black protagonist?
This week alone saw not one, buttwostudios led byMass Effectveteransshutting downorpausing operationsbecause of a lack of funding.
Neither of those studios had even launched the games they were working on.
Okay, lets say itdoesget made.
In a couple of years, xAI launches a game.
People are probably going to think its bad, because it will be.
It wont do anything new or interesting, because AI just isnt capable of that in its current form.
The same will happen here.
If Im eating my words in a couple of years, so be it.
But I seriously doubt that we need to react to this announcement with anything but an eye roll.
Trends are a moving target and they move a lot faster than game development.
