So let me get this straight: The most important part of a game while in development; the trailer, which is basically the "game seller" thing, the element that might make me decide if I want the game or not, it's AI slop. But somehow, you are telling me the rest of the game won't be? I mean, even the damn presentation itself, not just trailers, was AI slop. How the hell do you expect me to believe that you are not using it for the game if you used it (and poorly so) for the event in which you were supposed to show me why should I buy the game?

He continued: “On the contrary, thanks to the time created by AI efficiency, creators are now able to dedicate more time to the essence of creation

X to doubt.

A recent report on Japanese online game developers claims that 100% of those surveyed use generative AI tools.

Yeah, Japan is generally not nearly as anti-AI as some other places. AI-generated stuff is all over the place at train stations, signs, restaurants, etc.

He added: “However, at our company, the parts that relate to the charm and individuality of the released works—such as scenarios, character designs, and basic settings—are all created by human hands.”

That read like the AI disclaimer I see on Steam games that clearly use AI for more then what they disclaim.

I honestly wonder how much AI Nintendo used for the Ocarina remake. It’s the most AI-looking game I’ve seen yet, and Nintendo has a record for cheaping out whenever they see a clear benefit and think they’ll get away with it.
