Take-Two is interested in AI, but not to replace its developers. That's at least according to reassurances from the company's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, who says that AI can't make hit video games, adding that game development "is the domain of human beings."
However, he doesn't rule out using AI to help devs "do a better and more efficient job," referring to AI-assisted tools. It's not clear if he has put any limitations on how AI can be used in development, although given that he doubts AI will make it "easier" to make good games, it seems unlikely that we'll start seeing AI art in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Theft Auto 6.
As spotted by , these comments come from a question and answers session with Ta🌠ke-Two investo༺rs.
"The most recent developments in AI are surprising and exciting to many," says Zelnick. "They're exciting to us but not at all surprising. Our view is that AI will allow us to do a better job and to do a more efficient job, you're talking about tools and they are simply better and more effective tools.
"I wish I could say that the advances in AI will make it easier to create hits, obviously it won't. Hits are created by genius. And data sets plus compute plus large language models does not equal genius. Genius is the domain of human beings and I believe will stay that way."
Hopefully, this emphasis on the limitations of AI means that it won't be used to replace devs and artists in Take-Two-owned studios. While a few years ago this may have been unthinkable, we're already starting to see it in some titles. 168澳洲幸运5开奖𝕴网:High on Life was called out fo🌃r this last year, with the various pieces of art dotted around the player's bedroom being AI-generated, complete with all of the telltale signs (extra fingers, weird eyes, etc). Concerningly, the game's co-creator Justin Roiland trotted out a similar line to the Take-Two boss, saying that AI is "a tool that has potential to make content creation incredibly accessible."
However, a clear distinction is that Take-Two is bringing up its limitations, and making it clear that the "intelligence" part of artificial intelligence needs to come from human beings. Hopefully, these human begins will be paid, and their♔ artwork will be respected.
Given that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:GTA 6 has been in development forever, it's safe to assume that this is being made by actual human beings. Of course, as AI grows more advance, we'll have to remain vigilant, but it seems that some higher-ups in the gaming industry still understand that games are nothing without the people that make them.
