I dream of a future when game development stops taking 10+ years for a big AAA series release like The Elder Scrolls. This is a step towards it.

Consider how these 3d models are created, though. These auto generated items suffer from copyright related issues, which matters for commercial use.

Cleaning up the AI generated itens are probably going to take just as long as making it from scratch, too. This feels very gimmicky, but might work okay for some things. It's a tool, like everything else.

These things are a rig nightmare. Help generate ideas maybe but good fucking luck trying to code these like actual game assets.

These didn't exist until literally months ago. When Dall-e 1 was released two years ago it was fun and amazing but completely unusable for anything professional. Then Dall-e 2 came out. Then Stable Diffusion came out. Then people said SD was unusable because you couldn't generate the same character/object multiple times in different contexts, one month later DreamBooth came out and now you can use SD to generate HD pictures of yourself in StarWars world or smth.

they are surface meshes not parametric models

Yeah I can basically guarantee you need to retopo these by hand to be usable in a game. Nifty tool for generating references though at the very least.

That's the benefit of AI. It goes from shit to not very good to alright to super good very fast. I don't expect it'll take that long for AI to be better than every artist out there

Now. You are not thinking forward enough. That could change in a matter of months.

About what, how to charge people for more money? At this point in development time, Duke Nukem Forever was almost released. When Star Citizen was announced, Ps3 was at its peak, ps4 came and went, and there's a good chance the ps6 (or whatever hardware refresh will come about) will happen before this game is out.

If it wasn't a scam at first, it's definitely one now. At best, Roberts will release a game which won't satisfy most other than his hardcore supporters.

Oh yeah, they'll say the code is so optimised because 10 years and 4 versions of flight control 🤣

It takes a bazillion years because customers expect better graphics and bigger worlds every year even while gameplay is only arguably getting better - anyone with time and dedication can make a 2D game today.
