Netflix Games feels generative AI will completely reshape game development–but stopped short of explaining exactly how.
GenAI is good at word salad, so that part’s sorted at least. Now, to the rest of this dumpster fire
When I read your comment, I internalized “sorted” as “sordid.” I guess either one works!
This is the only corporate game left. Convince clueless investors that they’ll make more money if they give you money. No real innovation or even a real goal. Just buzzword after buzzword to get those investors on board.
Capitalism doesn’t breed innovation. It eventually eats it.
I’d like to think some things will change once not every major investor is clueless after just being rich their whole lives, but given how generational wealth works, I’m not holding my breath.
“mindblowing new experiences”. Fuck me, imagine if that guy got outside and touched grass.
What does it mean to touch grass?
The Netflix exec talking about how generative AI is going to create “mindblowing experiences” reminds me of a Mondelez Executive for the Oreos brand talking about a slight tweak to the Oreos product line with a new line of Oreos, how it was going to “take snacking to a new unbelievable level”. The reality was a slightly different Oreo cookie that helped increase obesity rates, with the same shit.
This is even worse, because most people see through all the AI slop, what we’ll get are cheap ass AI produced mobile game clones, and this guy’s talking about them being “mindblowing experiences”. In reality, if you go out and get some sunlight and touch grass, you’re getting a far more rich experience.
Are you an … AI?
Note: the reason I shared this article here instead of the games community is because of the intersection of different topics in technology in this article.
Crypto and ai attracted so many grifters
Ai magic money tree will keep printing money out of nothing and we save on headcount!
I didn’t even know Netflix had a games department, and I have a Netflix account. I’m assuming this is just another effort on their part for further enshittification of that service. Perhaps it’s finally time I unsubscribed from Netflix.
