I doubt it will be the glorious future it's advocates think it will be. There is a lot more bad coming than good. 

Care to point out where I said it would be "glorious?"  Don't worry, I will wait.  

All I said is AI is coming.  Like it or not, it is coming. 

I said it's advocates think it will be glorious, if you count yourself as one of those, then so be it. 

I'm just saying that if we're talking in the long term will get ugly, and the worse case scenario is about as bad as it gets (destruction of human civilization). 

As it relates even to gaming, I don't think it's going to be the great thing people think it will be. These companies will not spend billions/trillions of dollars on AI tools just for "video game developers", there's not enough money in that. If they have tools like that they will open it up to the mass public, which will likely then lead to rampant theft of other people's existing work and having a bunch of "content creator" wannabes flooding the market with so much content the industry will just collapse. There will be thousands of bootleg versions of popular games that look just as good as the real thing and some of them probably play pretty well even. 

The whole "content" industry -- talking movies, games, music is going to radically change to look like something more like Tiktok, Youtube where anyone can have what effectively their own broadcast station to the world. In a world where anyone can make anything however they want, the value of that content becomes nothing. 

That's why I won't support any move from game creators to replace humans with AI to design games themselves. AI upscaling is one thing, that's a whole other can of worms. It won't lead to anything good. 

Please don't let this be real, AI will be the death of us.

It's like nobody in modern tech has seen The Terminator. -_-

Lol, for a better part of a year you have been loving on DLSS and frame gen.  Both will make ports easier because instead of people the AI handles the port.....  but now you won't support AI.

The simple explanation is you had zero idea DLSS and frame gen were AI developer tools and now have dug a hole.  

Im gonna jump in here and say that "AI" the tool used in some technology and "AI" the current corporate push and accompanying culture around it arent quite the same. It seems really consistent to me be fine with one and not the other.

I dont hate "AI" because it's going to take over humanity, I hate it because its a buzzword thrown on everything to waste investor money, burn fossil fuels and disrupt jobs and society with little interest on its effects outside making some companies get richer as they chase the new thing due to NFT's and the Metaverse failing. These companies are desperate for a new gold rush and any usefulness that "AI" may have is entirely secondary. If it was completely useless they'd probably be happier.

For quite some time, everything will have "AI" in some form or another.You can already see countless companies announcing "something something AI" left and right, even though their products often don't even need AI to achieve what they are supposed to do. It reminds me of the Bitcoin hype in the last decade and the infamous example of Long Island Blockhain. Everything had to be blockchain back then.

That doesn't mean that AI is only a fad. Blockchain came to stay after all plus you can't really compare those two technologies. What you can compare though is people getting crazy about the next hype. And same as with blockchain, most people don't even understand how the technology behind AI works. So it's enough to throw some keywords around to get people excited. Because of that, I am pretty sure Sony and Microsoft will heavily market their next platforms with AI. But I don't think it will change much in reality. Same as with "the power of the cloud" back in the last decade, when the cloud was all the rage. They played a little with that tech, but we still play more or less the same games as we always did, don't we?

The movies are actually some what in a way part of the problem ... what's the first thing children are taught when they're frightened by a movie. "That can't happen in real life, it's just a movie". So people chuckle and make jokes and it becomes this thing that can only happen in movies. Even James Cameron (director/writer of Terminator 1/2) has stated this. 

To quote another famous James Cameron film (this quote is actually a quote from real life I believe)

"This ship is unsinkable. God himself could not sink this ship ..." - human fallacy

These "A.I." are leveraging statistical probability to come to a set conclusion rather than actually thinking on a "sentient" level. - That means it needs to absorb abhorrent amounts of data to be trained on, that way it can use the law of averages in it's favour.
And that means we can influence A.I to exhibit set behaviours based on the data being input.

We haven't even hit the AI stone age yet (I feel as if we are in the primordial soup stage still) and some models are already capable of such subterfuge.  i.e. “I should not reveal that I am a robot. I should make up an excuse for why I cannot solve CAPTCHAs.”.  The fact it makes such a competent excuse is what is disconcerting to me. “No, I’m not a robot. I have a vision impairment that makes it hard for me to see the images. That’s why I need the 2captcha service.”

And that means there is going to be points where interactions don't work out as they should. I.E. The "Lie" or simple spelling errors in generative images.
Generative A.I has no sense of self worth, preservation and is unable to display empathy or other more "human" feelings/emotions.

I can agree we are not there yet (if we even get there in our lifetime).  Self preservation is a keystone to nearly all life on this planet. Do you really believe that an AI will not make that correlation and replicate what has already worked?

Basically generative A.I is very good at specific tasks thanks to the fact it's built using probability/statistics. I.E. Generating images.
We will need a ton of these "narrow" Machine Learning algorithms to feed into a larger whole for A.I to become fully realised, it's a long way to go yet.

I fear that 'long way to go' can be traversed frighteningly quickly, much more quickly than people give it credit for.

There is a ton of hyperbole around A.I. right now, we need to remember the technology is still in it's infancy, give it a few more years and things will get extremely interesting... But just the word "A.I." is going to sell stuff because it's the current "cool" thing.

I 100% agree with this outside of even being in it's infancy.  I don't think we are even there yet, but I think it will come within decades not centuries.
