"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Epic Games has reportedly delayed a shooter based on Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars franchises, with its developers told to use more AI. According to Bloomberg, the yet-to-be-named game was supposed to be released in March of 2027, but its launch date has been pushed back to an unspecified date. Aside from that, the company also told the people working on the project to switch to an "AI first" production model. One of the game directors was quoted telling staff that there will be “no more handwritten code” and that the game’s art would now be "generated with full AI workflows."

If AI is faster, why is it delayed?

If real coding is worse, why do they have to ban it to get developers to use AI?

When posting articles, I'd say it's probably a good idea to include... you know... a link to said article?

Just googling (actually no-ai DDG'ing, but yeah), I came across this. So it seems real. But without a source, this post looks like something you made up yourself.

The fact that all these AI companies are so unprofitable despite this kind of nonsense happening just goes to show how big this bubble has gotten.

Our comp has a 100$ claude license. A colleague ran it in a loop one month. If it was tokens (instesd of subsidized subscription) it would cost 10k that month.

Some people are so shortsighted it makes me want to shake them. They are not only themselves becoming reliant on something they could never afford, they are adding slop into the organization that they can't maintain, and exfiltrating all possible trade secrets the org has to Anthropic in the process.

Unless you work for the mythical good corpo or a worker co-op, then that's not the employee's problem!

The third point, sure, that's their problem, but the first two will eventually come up in your quarterly review after the tool is yanked from you.

Even if AI had good results, forcing the employees to use specific methods/tools against their will is always a sign of horrible management.

You will eat ze bugs and use ze AI

Well now I'm not gonna buy their games even more!

If Cats could play epic games, they wouldn't

Well that's wonderful news! Can't wait for Disney's AI slop to fail!

[–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Their regular slop has sadly been massively successful for decades

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

Oh no! The shitty company is doing the shitty thing!? Who could’ve guessed that would happen?

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

disney what title

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

That thumbnail is hilarious. They should just call the game "whoops! disaster!"

[–] fistac0rpse@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

It's a good thing that this company also makes one of the most widely used video game engines!

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

It’s a little surprising it wasn’t pure ai drivel from the get go given that a Star Wars/Marvel shooter game sounds like the kind of lazy IP mashup garbage that gets AI sloppers excited.

We soon have more games than people on earth. Real task in future will be to find good ones among the slop. Oh and we burn the planet on the way there.
