AI and Gaming

[u/Straight-Twist-8172]

Recently, in almost every sub-reddit there has been an increase of AI related things. Whether it’s discussions regarding AI, whether it’s the increase of AI bot accounts in servers, or people promoting things they claim to author that utilized AI in some capacity. I notice with gaming in particular, people have been using AI to port video games, to speed up the development process of ongoing projects, to implement within the games themselves, or companies themselves using AI within the development or marketing process of their games, or even the hardware companies who are massively invested AI being leaders in console and PC gaming hardware. Whenever this is brought up negatively, for its consequences to public safety, privacy, environmental issues, labour rights, cost of living, etc. people either seem dismissive, avoid acknowledging the connection, attempt to justify the uses of AI, or double down and become more hateful and vindictive. Would you advise people to boycott gaming for any of these reasons or concerns related to AI? How do you feel about people who justify, minimize or insist on using AI in any of the capacities I mentioned by creators and companies involved in gaming?
