    That would require people learning how to program.

    No, new devs will love the AI tool frameworks for creating games. The money will be good and nobody will own ANYTHING, except for the corporations that hold our debt.

    I’m not falling for it. Going to start retro gaming clubs.

      I’ve seen plenty of indie game studios swear off all generative AI. I mean I’m all for retro gaming too, just bought a new cable for my N64, but there’s definitely plenty of good choices in the indie space still

        Yeah I do think there will be a “never die” indie community thankfully! I just think that going from experience the new generations bring more and more people to the internet and they do not share our values. They create their own things that corporations back and people see those as legitimate and safe, even though they are quite the opposite.

        I just believe that what AI tools are will be split into categories because even indie devs can’t ignore all the tools forever. I mean at some point you’re using generated textures and it doesn’t have to be trained on broken dreams.

        But then that creates all sort of gray areas for corporations to claim they are being good while they are raking it in and building their own gaming ecosystems.

          Possibly, but polls show (yes I understand the caveats with them) AI being liked even less than ICE. So maybe the younger generation will listen on this one. Only time will tell.

      Just because some indies will make slop doesn’t mean all of them will. There will be good stuff too.
