Just a very, very small, VERY vocal minority. 99,9999% of gamers (I was considering putting in a seven't 9, but decided to err on the safe side) just judge the end result and could not give a rat's ass about how it was created.
- itsdrewmiller 10mo agoThis is a survey of gamers that shows the overwhelming majority claim to hate it. Do you think they are only sampling that minority?
- PeterStuer 10mo agoNo. I'd say they are polling mostly completely uninformed people on the interwebs that haven't given this more than 3 seconds of thought before they clicked an option and have almost 0% expertise in actually detecting AI assisted work when it is done well, but since there is 0 cost proposed just prefered 'human' over 'machine'. Basically the equivalent of the beauty contestant's "peace on earth".
- lp0_on_fire 10mo agoIt doesn’t take more than a few seconds of thought for me to decide I don’t want the latest LLM slop in creative products. Inasmuch as video games are creative products.
- makerofthings 10mo agoAnecdote from me. I’m in a video games slack channel with ~350 of my coworkers who know well what ai looks like and like video games. Everyone hates it. I’d love a permanent steam selection to hide generative ai.
- xboxnolifes 10mo agoMostly polling the uninformed would suggest they are actually polling the majority.
- johnnyanmac 10mo agoDo you need to be informed to know what kind of things in a game you personally like? This isn't some comprehensive survey to determine "what is AI?" The questions are literally framed as "what's your attiude". AKA "how do you feel?". Given how little time a modern game has to advertise itself (without millions in an ad campaign), those gut feelings are key to landing a sale.
- NotGMan 10mo agoIt's basicaly this, combined with the fact that most gamers think that AI means "slop". But AI has completely legit non-slop use in games: texture gen, 3D model gen, Suno for audio, programming,...
- smt88 10mo agoCan you provide some examples of games where AI was used for results that are as good as human work?
- polski-g 10mo agoAI hasn't been good enough for those tasks until six months ago. And it takes two years to make a game, so they aren't out yet.
- johnnyanmac 10mo agoAlright, I can't wait to hear how we're 6 months away from good AI generated art in another 2 years. Then another 2 years after that.
- tim333 10mo agoDunno about games but there was a recent interesting pop video - Fatboy Slim & The Rolling Stones - Satisfaction Skank - https://youtu.be/_c_V3oPCe-s https://youtu.be/_c_V3oPCe-s Not so much as good as human as able to do different things. I could see that kind of thing in games.

- vablings 10mo agoI agree but the issue is that C-suite executives think that AI can replace these things rather than enhance and you end up with lower quality trash. Look at sites like etsy etc., it's been overwhelmed with AI trash that is worth 0 value to anyone
- saulpw 10mo agoIf everyone on the planet is a gamer (8.26 billion people), your "99.9999%" figure would mean that only 8260 gamers--in the entire world--care. I'm one of those gamers. I'm pretty sure we can find more than 8259 others.
