Well yeah, Perl is write-only. Larry Wall asked the monkey's paw for a language that works on the first try. What's onscreen are your raw brain patterns.
Thank god it runs like crap. Optimized C isn't pretty, but any project that compiles proves someone looked at it more than once.
It's easy to mock the Xbox brand like it lost a fair fight and is on its last legs.
But this is Sony acknowledging that consoles don't matter anymore. The war is over. Who won is irrelevant. There's just color-coded interchangeable platforms now, like releasing on both Steam and EGS. This was always the purpose of the Xbox project, from back before DirectX had a proper name... though admittedly Microsoft assumed they'd still control the PC gaming market.
... right, and the reason nobody's done that, despite the aggressive availability of local models, is that even a few static assets lead to shrill backlash. Like this article. My man is frothing at the mouth because a complex systemic city-builder used a program to draw the "you can't cut back on funding!" guy.
We can assume the same people would screech that any game with generative dialog was "written by AI." Like a text parser being able to respond to insults means the whole plot came from a ten-word prompt. It's not a rational environment for selling studios on a multi-million-dollar investment.
Huh, it's almost like this new tool is fine for placeholder art, and placeholders can be good enough to ship.
Did you know The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" was supposed to have a brass section? That driving riff with the fuzzbox guitar was a placeholder. They released it as-is, the song hit #1, and distortion became mainstream. At what point do we stop lamenting all the horn players who were robbed?
AI tends to be distinct, because things move so fast that we're exposing programmers' stupid internal names.
