It’s a different story for the more established studios with an existing following and previous titles. Game Oracle found that the use of AI by these studios resulted in a significant 40% to 60% drop in sales.

That’s a huge difference. AI stigma seems to hit competent developers with a lot to lose the hardest, and I’m not sure that game studios are ready to accept it.

    I know your type. I’ll just save us both time and energy: yes, you’re right about everything! I was wrong, and could never be as smart as you. You know so much more than me! All your arguments are pristine and mine are indefensible. You know my analogies better than I do myself! I should have had you write them, and then explain them to me, rather than attempting to think for myself.

    Please forgive me for the error of my ways for not thinking like you and the rest of the popular kids in the mob. You are all so knowledgeable and incapable of error. I was a fool to have my own opinions. I throw myself at the mercy of your forgiveness. I’ll only perform right-think now. Watch, please:

    AI is bad! It is evil! Anyone who says otherwise is simply lazy, and they don’t own any of their own ideas! I bet they use AI to even have opinions, so therefore everything they say is invalid! They are thieves who have stolen from artists. Nothing an AI-user thinks or says has any merit! They simultaneously will steal all our jobs, but paradoxically everything they create is slop of no value!

    Happy? I’m going back to developing using a candle, with a hamster in a wheel powering my typewriter, to make sure I don’t offend you in the future with my use of evil technology again, sir. I won’t risk using electricity because it may have been generated by coal, ruining our ecology, and I won’t risk having ideas of my own because I might have seen a similar idea in the past, and I don’t want to risk stealing an idea from someone just like an AI would. Only the original creators can have ideas, I recognize now that I cannot. If I had an idea, it probably came from an AI so it was stolen from someone by default. I won’t try to make analogies, because I don’t know which ones have been approved by you as morally allowed. I probably wouldn’t even understand my own arguments, even if I did. I’m just not smart enough. Not like you, oh brilliant one.

    lol

        I will do good. Toby will be fed! (I promise an AI didn’t name him.)
