    I dont think it can replace writers but the testers can go suck a dick. They all are incompetent bafoons anyway, so its a net positive.

      Writing in vidya is complete garbage and testers are already outsourced anyway, which is why most games nowadays are buggy as hell.
      At this point i'd say just give AI a shot, can't be much worse than what we already got.

    I don't know, it couldn't replace anyone anyway yet. It's just tool to help with things. Can't do anything by itself. Maybe in decade or two.
    "AI" has been used for ages already in productions, but suddenly it's a problematic because some stuff is available to regular users and not just for big companies.

    Testers? Yeah, we might get good games if the AI's better than those dunces. Writers? God no. They're all word prediction algorithms, you're never going to get anything new or truly original. Textures/asset generation? Frick yeah, let's use it for that. We might be able to slim down dev teams to 20 people again and not have hundreds of people slaving over 4K grass textures and shit.

      You need to remember that most people in these threads genuinely believe most bugs are the result of lazy testers, rather than the bugs they find being labeled "Known, shippable"

      people think games are buggy because testers didnt find shit and not that all the shit they found was ignored/declined to get the game out on time

    It can, should and will, eventually.I work with test in other areas of IT and one of the biggest limitations in my job is time once the system is complex enough. Having AI writers and testers (and developers) would enable a video game revolution where you could, for example, create truly personalized game experiences or dynamically build on a hand crafted base game in a way that we simply don't have the resources for today. Basically, in the future, every video game player could be a Saudi prince that buys his own video game company to make a game just for him, this is the very essence of societal progress. Of course, console players will be two generations behind and get these capabilites 15 years after PC players.

        You are using a lot of buzzwords without understanding anything and you can't even put a coherent sentence together. The point isn't that everyone can make and sell video games, the point is that the very concept of a video game is about to evolve into something greater than it is today. I think the combination of video games and AI technology will be comparable to when printed books and art was combined to create comic books. Sentience would not be required for anything I described by the way, just better tools that allow for more complexity in the product. Luddites like you can cry and shit their pants all they want but you'll never inhibit progress.

    Yes, developers right now (writers ESPECIALLY) aren't being picked from the best, they are chosen by shitskins and political ideologues who want to take over the industry to hire even more shitskins and ideologues.

    Just automize everything if that's the case if the alternative is b***hy liibs who want to tell you what to think and want to work for less for more for the drivel they produce. Remove the troony in the cubicle

    ChanGPT: Interesting question, OP.

    > Should AI replace testers

    AI could definitely be useful in finding bugs and testing certain aspects of games. It might make the testing process more efficient and help find issues that humans could miss. However, human testers can provide valuable feedback on the overall feel, gameplay, and user experience, which is something AI might not be able to fully grasp yet.

    > replace writers in video games industry

    AI can generate text and create stories, but it still lacks the nuance, creativity, and human touch that a skilled writer can bring to a game's narrative. Plus, the emotional connection that players feel with characters and the story is often thanks to the unique perspectives and experiences of human writers.

    So, while AI could definitely assist in the game development process, it's unlikely to fully replace human testers and writers anytime soon. A combination of AI and human expertise would probably be the best approach for now.

    PC gamer had a good article about this recently. most devs and big company higher ups don't worry at all nor do they think this tech has capabilities to replace professionals for at least next 20 years, it's just a tool. there's also a major problem of training data and its sources, do you guys think big companies would risk using AIs that were built with stolen assets? in the end human input will be crucial for creating quality unique experiences and no amount of AI can replace soul but if we look at the current state of the industry and all the generic trash the likes of ubisoft, square enix and bethesda are outputting AI could certainly do a better job and replace thousands of creatively bankrupt, cynical, money driven, mercenary devs.
