Not playing whatever this is sounds so easy

Bloomberg: Epic Games is going all in on AI as an unannounced shooter featuring Marvel & Star Wars characters is implementing an "AI first" production model "generated with full AI workflows". "No more hand-written code", said one of the directors to staff. ➡️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I have to assume this will be a game mode inside Fortnite since that lines up with them announcing a future Disney project inside the game. If so based on the player base for others non battle royale things most people won't be playing it either

Can't wait for the melt down when they find out AI can't actually make a functioning video game. And all of the lawsuits when their AI gets caught stealing code.

"no more hand written code" Ah yes, such a smart way to run a software company... Let's hire programmers and force them to build things with AI so that when it breaks their only option will be to beg AI for a solution because no team will have an understanding of the codebase

This is so dumb. Did AI tell them to make this? Is AI gonna have all the ideas and implement everything? Are they going to use any humans to clean up the cruddy 3D models or music or generates? Nobody to check the code at all? If not, then it's not a full AI workflow. Theyre just after headlines.

We live in an age where if you google something AI tries to help you so it's probably unavoidable on some level, but they're doing the equivalent of rage baiting on a company level.

"An AI-first shooter featuring star wars and marvel characters" that's just fortnite. These people don't know how to do anything that isn't fortnite

"a shooter with Marvel and Star Wars characters" is exactly the kind of zero-risk zero-thought slop an AI would want to make LOL not even sure who'd want that because Fortnite and Marvel Rivals both fill that niche and more

Fortnite is also full of slop. They've stated that future skins will be made by AI. And its owned by Epic. Lmao fucking Fortnite, what a fucking joke of a game.

I think the "unannounced game" is probably a Fortnite mode I'd doubt epic would ever make a new standalone shooter game anymore
