“The Pros and Cons of AI in Game Development: How it Affects Jobs, Creativity, and Efficiency”

Well, here again both positive and negative sides. Game development has become very complex, perhaps AI can bring things back to manageable proportions here. When you see how incredibly many people it takes years to make a game, you would think that AI could help with that. Also for the indie’s I hope they can realize much more of their ideas thanks to smart help from AI, in programming and editing artwork.

But also some negative things. I have the impression that companies are trying to tell their employees that there will only be a positive impact, and to keep the peace, they don’t tell the negative sides. “Nothing but positive consequences for our industry!“.

People in China have already realized that you can have illustrations and other designs generated by AI. As a result, the people who used to do that have to look for something else. Many CEOs and shareholders really don’t care whether the designs are just as good, because it simply saves a lot of money. And yes, in the longer term, according to the studies, it will all work out in terms of jobs, but we always forget that losing a job because you are made redundant is just very annoying. Especially if it’s a job that has little or no negative consequences for the world and that you enjoy.
