      What are you talking about? It looks like shit, it plays like shit and the overall experience is shit. And it isn’t even clear what the goal is? There are so many better ways to incorporate AI into game development, if one wanted to and I’m not sure we want to.

      I have seen people argue this is what the technology can do today, imagine in a couple of years. However that seems very naive. The rate at which barriers are reached have no impact on how hard it is to break through those barriers. And as often in life, diminishing returns are a bitch.

      Microsoft bet big on this AI thing, because they have been lost in what to do ever since they released things like the Windows Phone and Windows 8. They don’t know how to innovate anymore, so they are going all in on AI. Shitting out new gimmicks at light speed to see which gain traction.

      (Please note I’m talking about the consumer and small business side of Microsoft. Microsoft is a huge company with divisions that act almost like seperate companies within. Their Azure branch for example has been massively successful and does innovate just fine.)

        I’m happy to see someone else pushing back against the inevitability line I see so much around this tech. It’s still incredibly new and there’s no guarantee it will continue to improve. Could it? Sure, but I think it’s equally likely it could start to degrade instead due to ai inbreeding or power consumption becoming too big of an issue with larger adoption. No one actually knows the future and it’s hardly inevitable.

        What are you talking about? For the technology it looks and plays amazing. This is a nice steady increase in capability, all one can hope for with any technology.

        I don’t care about Microsoft, or what is commercially successful.
