The gaming industry increasingly adopts AI, with one in three developers using generative AI. While some developers embrace it, a significant percentage view it negatively, as evidenced by a Game Developers Conference survey indicating 30% believe AI is detrimental. Transparency about AI usage is recommended to alleviate backlash. AI enables rapid content creation, reducing timelines drastically. Developers anticipate AI becoming integral to gaming, drawing parallels with past industry changes, and suggest the potential for a billion-dollar solo-developed game company in the near future.
Game developers who have embraced the use of AI in their work think there's a way to manage the social media backlash: namely, by being upfront and honest about whether they use it.
Davis said that AI will soon become an established part of the gaming landscape, and that previous transformations, like the rise of paid extra content for games, drew their own internet outrage.
What used to take a 'team of 15 and maybe nine months' can now be done by non-technical 'vibe creators' in just six weeks, according to Phylicia Koh.
A survey earlier this year from the Game Developers Conference indicates that 30% of developers think that generative AI is bad for the industry.
