You play as a hero and every request you refuse from an NPC results in them labelling you as a paedophile because all the NPCs are modelled after Musk's fragile ego.

In all seriousness, the wealthiest man in the world who owns 3 big corporations complaining about big corporations owning too many studios is hilarious, I love how Musk always thinks he's one of the people and not just yet another asshole billionaire who received hand me downs from daddy and bought his way into most things. His adventure into gaming will go as well as his adventure into most things outside of his area of expertise (SpaceX/Tesla) and even then it's debatable how much he does in those companies anymore.

So as long as he doesn't acquire any studios he can waste his money on an AI studio, it'll be a disaster, of course the man with multiple workplace allegations to his companies wants to cut out as many humans as possible though. An AI studio sounds horrible, devoid of creativity, a soulless piece of "art" which will result in a lot more of those blatantly obvious rip-off games, like all those mobile titles now coming to console, haha. Anyone who gives a shit about the medium of videogames, film or tv should want AI as regulated as possible.

AI is largely just an excuse for billionaire corporations to fire more people and save costs.

We'll end up with an industry filled with shit like this turned up to 11.

LOL. An upside to this is that AAA industry slop cannot be longer called "at least a 7", just because it is mostly free of bugs and models and systems are kinda polished. I always hate this way of thinking, because that still means lack of creativity. Basically Concord: there is nothing wrong of it if you just check technological or graphical checkboxes, yet it failed to resonate with gamers. AI supported studios can do similar things pretty quick I think, some polished stuff that checks basic boxes but without creativity.

Still, I think small indies can profit by AI as well. The humans inject creativity, while AI is used to scale it bigger than a small team can on their own. This might be a way of the future.

Of course there are decent uses for AI in videogame development, AI isn't anything new at the end of the day, it has been used for dozens of years already and it can be beneficial to small indie teams in other ways, it entirely depends on where/what/how it is used but I seriously doubt all these "worker first" and more altruistic uses of AI are what these billionaire twats like Musk have in mind, hence the need for regulation/unions, etc. Billionaires like Musk, Microsoft, and others, just want to use AI to fire as many workers as possible and pump out soulless factory-like games. But governments have been absolutely fucking useless at regulating AI so far.
