I think people need to understand that there is a difference between using AI to accelerate work and using AI to replace the person doing the work.

If people don't want to but new stuff that's cool, to each their own but let's not being proud of being ignorant.

Hopefully they are written poorly, because if games start requiring FG to hit 30 fps..  that is just pure laziness.  But fair, see what reality is, versus maybe just poor communication.  

That last sentence sums up my thoughts quite well: People are jumping waaaay too fast onto the "AI = doomsday!!" mentality— the way I see it is as a technological development capable of allowing for many great innovations in the near future. Yes there will be some who use AI to exploit laborers or in order to... um... maximize death in war (e.g. Israel-Palestine Genocide... it's quite a disturbing thing to research, really). BUT I do firmly believe that when it comes to matters such as technological optimizations, AI is a fantastic development and should be embraced in these avenues.

I love AI, when AI will take control of the world I will be their ally.

For the time being, I'm not against AI. Unless it butcher Grace face for example like the demo of DLSS 5

He gave various examples that are present in the article tho.

The examples of using it like in Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster, which again, up to this point have never seem anyone report problems based on AI for that game.

Gran Turismo 7, we have an actual great use of AI there, called Sophy, that is already present in the PS5 version of the game, is optional, and adapt to every player skills in real time.

PSSR, which we just got an excellent update this year.

And then two other things: helping with hair and with the store.

Helping with hair, he goes into explanation, on that all the renders are still done with humans, but AI helps the technical process to speed up considerably. On that one we still need to see if it results in anything good of bad in-game, but hair has always been notoriously hard to work with in gaming.

And the store, and on that front I have little clue to what he means. We have currently 2 things going on which I think might be affected by it: dynamic pricing for discounts, and insane amounts of AI slop games being purged from the store, both happening very recently. I imagine AI can be used to help with both.

And the last thing, what he expects from it to the future, and yes, sounds like he is excited about it, which in my personal POV has a way greater chance of being a bad thing rather than a good thing, indeed, as their first and vastly most important objective is making money, and corporations salivating about money usually ends up with lots of people getting screwed up.

For now, I can't say we have reason to say something bad about it in the present, all we have up until now is actually pretty damn good, but I would say getting reluctant for the future is always a valid approach with this kind of things.

Well, Playstation is an fixated platform and he is mentioning some of their very best studios, so I find hard to believe that would lead to bad optimization (which means it runs poorly for everyone) or drop in quality due to lazyness, unless people will get fired over it, as those studios are oozing with talent and top quality output.

That would be a catastrophe.

Yes.

Tech is always evolving, that's why we got so many incredible things today, how its used is the important part. AI can be used for a lot of good and bad things, like the internet itself. Which doesn't we should completely avoid it, there are many benefits to be had.

Besides the Bandai Collab, Nishino seems to be talking more about ML; doesn't seem like it's gen AI.

Machine Learning has been around for a while and is fine.

It's generative AI that's reprehensible garbage.

I wonder if people were like this after the printing press was invented ..
