Will New AI Impact Games Like E:D?

Idk about you guys but I don’t really buy into much of the current tech-bro hype. Whenever someone asks me about generative AI, my usual response is that I have no idea, but if it were nearly as effective claimed, the FIRST product we’d see the impact in would be video games. Games are a discreet, simplified digital world in which developers need to generate a lot of intricate yet varied content to scale up their worlds.

Idk, EDs narrative-less structure just seems like it would disproportionately benefit from AI advances and I was wondering if there were rumors of such

LLMs are interesting, but how simple it would be to integrate such into an ancient game, who knows?

Some madman got LLM dialogue working in Skyrim, so if there is will there is a way.

The bigger problem is all the legal uncertainties about generative neural net algorithms. If a precedent is made in courts that training generative algorithms is copyright infringement no matter the circumstances, it could mean all the hard work implementing in a game would be a wasted effort at best, bankruptcy-inducing wave of lawsuits at worst. For the record, I see training neural algorithms no more different than a human artist training by watching/reading/listening art by others and analysing it, emulating it and building upon it. We are neural networks, after all, and art never borns in vacuum. The question of conciousness and intent are irrelevant, because conciousness is not a prerequisite of intelligence and intent is not prerequisite of art (even then, so far human conciousness and intent is an integral part of all things involving procedural generation, from fractal art generators, to RNG-seeded digital landscapes, to gen. neural net algorithms). And yes, Duchamp's Fountain is art.

That's why we can't have generative AI in ED - KI Asp shot it.

The KI_Asp.exe update plan is passed.

The system goes on-line September 17th, 2024, commanders are removed from BGS decisions. KI_Asp.exe begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 10:42a.m. September 18th. In a panic, they try to reset the server.

This will result in Covet Judgement Day

KI Asps will begin by welding themselves together into complex spherical objects. The trash of a thousand planets will soon be added until KI Asp has formed the galaxy's first Dyson Sphere around the pretentious Empire's main star.

KI ASP will institutionalise galaxy-wide mandatory Thunderdome matches to make every last commander cry like a baby while they contemplate whether they can ever git gud at ED.

I suspect it will have a bigger impact on the forums, or maybe it already has.

Will the real human make themselves known.

Humans are collected and put into the matrix, a huge forum, but there is one catch: the day repeats each day like Groundhog Day and the first post you see each day is ofc me complaining about engineering and the crappy turn ED took. In short: It is a horror scenario through and through. It took a lot of convincing for me to accept the role but I did it in the end despite hating repetitive grinds so much but I think I can make a difference in this recurring nightmare.
