    It won’t work but that isn’t the point, the point is to dehumanize game development. Failure is just a chance to consolidate and to normalize treating game development as a low quality of life “low skilled” job.

    AI will enable big game teams to move much faster, and will also put an almost unimaginable collection of new capabilities in the hands of developers in smaller game teams."

    Just because lots of people tell you “I can’t imagine how this will be of any help at all” doesn’t mean that this is a “collection of unimaginable new capabilities”.

        Unless you mean they know intimately how stupid their own executives are I doubt they have any knowledge in an industry that is essentially foreign to them considering they aren’t even doing very well producing their own content in the industry they do know.

      Someone must have used “unimaginable” and “AI” in the same slide presenting to the CEO. Understandable misunderstanding.
