Activision finally admits to using AI & CoD players aren’t surprised at all - Dexerto

Activision has finally admitted to using AI-generated content in its games and Call of Duty players aren’t at all surprised.

Feels like the whole franchise was made using AI ever since Black Ops 2.

Should add DEI disclosure too if the developer or publisher has dei statement/dei department or using sweet baby inc as consultation.

Get used to it. It's inevitable

Don't see the problem if it helps cut development time and the overall budget. Hopefully this leads to publisher willing to take more risks so we don't get the same slop that we've played a hundred times before.

It's like every cod conspiracy gets slowly confirmed over time lol.

 

[ValiantInstance]

The prestige emblems are 100% ai generated.

What the fuck?

You people are sick.

You should definitely submit this feedback to Steam, I'm sure they'll get on it.

Can't they use AI to make COD AI so the game feels more realistic at least?

Actually, I don’t necessarily agree.

I think the next 3-4 years we may see a lot of focus on AI tools, but I think what’s going to happen is more and more games will feel homogeneous, which will cause a bit of a crash in the industry. At that point, I think developers will start pledging either that their games don’t use AI in ANY capacity, or pointing out specifically where it is used (for my part, I think AI being used to help bug-testing will be a scenario where everyone is happy using it).

I don’t necessarily think that use of AI will result in any *objective* drop in quality, but peoples *perception* is king here. If people know AI is being used to create content, people will view that content as a lesser effort, regardless of its actual quality.

I think the smartest thing any publisher could do is try to get ahead of this and say when and what AI is being used for. I think it would make sense for promotional/marketing materials, but for actual creative content, I think it’s only a matter of time until people become entirely disinterested in content they even suspect AI had a hand in creating.

Follow this and at least each game’s store page will a note on it if it’s in the list.

Sounds about right, there's a good reason they're able to shit these games out on a yearly basis and it's not only because they have nearly every fucking studio working on them.

 

[SJRB]

Fucking trash.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Yeah I can see AI tools becoming widespread for asset creation and speeding up workflows. Got no problem with that.

The problem is that it opens the door to escalation, which MS has already shamelessly announced.

Uncle Phil's pipedream is to have "baristas making videogames".

Yeah I've seen those shitty games made by AI. I bet many suits are creaming over the idea but I believe actual good videogames made by an AI are still many years away.

I just hope games made by actual people don't ever go away.

Sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate

Yeah.
Im a none-immigrant traveller to the US often and keep my original documents in a safe deposit box.


Not sure what that has to do with anything?







P.S
Offsite shit is against GAF TOS fyi.

Pretty sure blanket insults like “You people are sick” would be on the TOS but I don’t go running to look at them every time I don’t like what a user said

 

[Mephisto40]

I'm guessing a lot of the textures for remakes of old maps are upscaled using AI

It doesn't.

Who are the you people I'm refering?

Still begs the question. What my post on ERA has to do with anything?

It shows the hypocrisy of you calling someone sick when you’ve clearly got some issues

What issues?

Point out the hypocracy in my ERA post in relation to this post.

Did you not understand my post on ERA?

 

[TintoConCasera]

It doesn't.

It can help with asset creation. Designs, textures, and their normal maps and all that shit. Also helps with coding, although I still prefer the good ol' visit to stackoverflow.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Yeah, they definitely use AI on a variety of graphics, and they make it abundantly clear, which is wild. They're not even trying to hide it, lmao. I really wish they wouldn't, I mean, they have fully capable artists.

Did you even read what you screen capped or process its context? Lmao.

I still don't get why some even bother going to Era if it's a place you "hate", lol. It's a lot better when you just don't pay attention to something if you genuinely don't like it.

I don't get people going to ERA and then referencing things here either unless it would be some sort of actual news

Yeah and avoid Disco Elysium!

 

[Saber]

Probably not surprising by basically everybody since their games doesn't seems to diferentiate much.

Likely wont change much until their sales plummet

I think the market needs a great alternative and as foolish as I know this is I have hopes the next BF returns to greatness

But I know how that will turn out

You and I both. Battlefield and COD together were a strong combo back in the day, especially with both IPs focusing on their own different strengths. But as years went on they unfortunately got more and more similar. I miss the days of when Battlefield was the game you'd play to experience all out warfare that included vehicles and chaos. Whereas COD was just more on the ground, infantry experiences. It was fun to go back and forth more so IMO.

AI will lower costs, create many MANY more game developers, and help produce high-quality visuals (and visual progress) without making the cost of doing so becoming prohibitive.

Meaning?

AI could create a far more creative, risk-tolerant industry. I have no idea why people are upset by this stuff.

People are upset with how it could affect a number of industries and the availability of jobs, which I feel makes sense. Also things that are considered an art form that are best completed by human beings being replaced. Some people are a bit more heavy opinionated about it, which I don't agree with, but I get some of the concerns personally.

I think AI is a great tool that a lot of people are already using to help with workloads. But it's questionable when companies have entire experienced and talented art teams using it. I can understand using it as a blueprint, sure, and then touching it up quite a bit to make it your own. But they straight up threw a zombie with six fingers into the game, lol. It's almost like they didn't even really bother.
