I'm delighted to see my "if you claim to like videogames, but are an anti-AI insanoid, you might as well just hang the whole hobby up now" coming to delicious fruition in such an immediate and high-profile way.

Maybe the hobby can be restored somewhat after all these annoying fucks self-select out of it.

They have no convictions. They will cave at the first hurdle after Rockstar or From admit they are using it in every aspect of development.

It will be a day to remember when Nintendo openly admits to be using AI.

Nintendo isn't ruling out using AI in the development of its games going forward, but Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser is making it clear that "what makes our games special is our developers," and that "human touch" will never disappear.

Speaking in an interview with CNBC following last week's flurry of Nintendo Switch 2 news, Bowser is asked how Nintendo is thinking about potentially inserting AI into its games. He makes it clear that he's not trying to "speak on behalf of the developers," but notes that generally speaking, "as we look at technology, we always want to make sure the technology we may be leveraging, whether it's to develop our games or whether it's in our devices, is going to create a better gameplay experience." This, he says, is "a very important part of our decision-making process in how to use AI."

He acknowledges that AI is "being used broadly in a number of different ways" around the world like to "enhance productivity," before going on to say that the potential use of it by developers is something that is being discussed within the company. He makes it clear, however, that it wouldn't be integrated to outright replace the actual humans who bring the company's games to life.

"If developers choose to use AI, and it is a discussion right now at Nintendo, it's not the only method of developing games," Bowser explains. "We still believe that what makes our games special is our developers, their artistic capabilities, their insight into how people play, so there's always, always going to be a human touch, and a human engagement in how we develop and build our games."

basically it's literally Larian's position, people in the company can use it but they're not going to replace people
