Gran Turismo 4 Used to Train World’s First AI-Generated Multiplayer Tech Demo

Gran Turismo 4 has been used to train a new AI research project called Multiverse. It’s the first project from a new AI development company called Enigma Labs, comprising some young programmers (and Gran Turismo fans), to demonstrate a new technique for creating AI-generated worlds for multiplayer games...
 
Gonna be a big nope from me, especially at a time where the Gaming Industry is already treating its longtime Human talents like slaves and leaving them to bite the dust left and right just because corporate isn't making massive profits for their respective quarter.
 
First of all, AI replacing jobs can get in the bin especially in this current climate in the gaming industry.

Secondly, I don't really understand. AI used footage of Gran Turismo B-Spec to create a multiplayer Gran Turismo on the same track with the same cars?

Yes and no.

Aside from... other concerns, the technical breakthrough here is making a multiplayer AI-generated game. There isn't actually a game here: you just go to the interface and type in prompts (I recall the guys said it was WASD) to control your "car" and the AI generates everything you see on the fly as a consequence of your inputs... along with the inputs of the second player.

There's no assets, no game engine, no anything.
 
reduce errors.
I am playing the pessimist card: Never happening.
AI can not reduce errors, because it requires a supervisor that spots every single error that the AI produces and then correct the command because otherwise it would build upon that error and making everything worse in every iteration.
That is more work than doing the work yourself in the first place.

Today sure. Tomorrow, or next year. Not so much. In photography, we used to pay a guy very well, to cut masks around objects during the retouching process. Very slow, meticulous work. Now my iphone guesses what it is, and bangs it out in a matter of seconds. Heck, the nhl is masking players on the fly, during live video, and putting ad’s on the boards behind them. Couple that with long, and often delayed, development times..also the huge budgets..i’d say gaming is pretty ripe for something like this to emerge from.
 
There is the crack, someone needs to make this guess into a 100% hit rate, otherwise you need someone to monitor the error rate and correct it.
Otherwise **** happens.

That fortunatly doesnt require any quality/precision, only roughly tracking the things to change and then broadly overwrite them.
 
I guess the point was there was a pit of 5 people working for $1-200 and hour for almost 20yrs. Now there is one, and the bulk of stuff gets farmed out to india for $10-15 an hour for that double check. Programming and that sort of thing looks as if its about to discover a similar fate just around the corner.

I suggest we vote with our wallets.

Do you want for tens (or hundreds) of thousands of people to lose their jobs in the arts?

How will they support their lives without universal income?

Don’t support generative ai.
