| JackHandy said: With the gloomy forecast of AI, I suspect the appropriate question isn't whether or not a company will come in to fill Xbox's void but rather, how long will the console industry survive? Because unless you don't mind the idea of playing a computer's version of a game, the whole thing is on the edge of collapse. Even Nintendo, which have long been the gate-keepers of what is most sacred in this industry, won't be immune. When you can ask a machine to build your next game and it can do so in five minutes with only a month of human oversight to get it ready to ship? They're going to jump on board. |
The AI bubble may pop short term. People are amazed at what AI can do but it's all a tech demo at this point. Where's the latest successful AI movie? Or Game? Where's an AI accountant that has successfully taken care of the books for months without issue? Where's an AI lawyer that won a court case?
Maybe AI will take off. Or maybe it won't. Until I see real world results and not demos by salesmen I'm not going to worry about it.
Also on a side note, I too am preparing to just give up on modern gaming. The moment it all goes digital is the moment I play nothing new.
