Re: "A Knife Can Be Used For Cooking Or As A Weapon" - Level-5 Boss Defends GenAI In Game Development

@Pak-Man This is the internet, you can't have non-binary opinions on here! /s

But seriously, I'm conflicted about GenAI as a whole. I do not like it, I do not like seeing it, but I know that it isn't going away anytime soon. (Even though I do hope the bubble pops soon)

I am very concerned about Hino dismissing the fact how GenAI is trained, maybe because he doesn't see much imagery of his own games being mutilated by the machines?

Bleh. Maybe it's a good thing Yokai Watch is currently dead, as I won't have to see my favorite series being Soylent Greened.

Re: Talking Point: Does It Bother You That Big Games Companies Are Using GenAI?

NatiaAdamo

AI should be used like any other tool in a toolbox. It shouldn't be the only thing used. But I do dislike it because A: How smug it is (and the people who use are even more smug), B: How ugly an low quality it looks (Ironically), C: How unethically it was made with stealing assets without permission, and D: How F-ing forced it is by big tech despite the fact it's a money black hole.

Re: Nintendo States Its Intention To Acquire More Development Teams

Hopefully, this includes Game Freak, so they can slap them out their indie mindset. That said, I see this as more so circling the wagons rather than buying companies for the fun of it, like Sony and Microsoft did. Intelligent Systems, Good-Feel and HAL are on my short list, with maybe a wild pick such as WayForward and Level5.

Re: Nintendo Of America President Doug Bowser Announces Retirement

Hmmmm. My thoughts is that Doug Bowser did an "Okay" job, but not enough to renew his contract. Can also see NCL wanting someone back in the spotlight like Reggie with their PR; as it really needs a soft reset after jestures at the Switch 2

Having someone from the DS days could help quite a bit in terms of getting that Whimsy Nintendo back. in any case, good luck Pritchard and so long, Bowser!
