Comments on: Capcom engineers say even the smartest AI “can’t match our creators when it comes to sensibility.” The technology is being adopted to reduce “routine tasks” instead

They’re doing what most places are doing in tech, that don’t have deluded CEOs and Boards. This is a non-issue. It’s what AI is best at (and still isn’t that good, as it can delete random things and, if helping code, can suddenly insert code that’s outdated, so it just helps reduce time, it isn’t a perfect replacement).

In reply to DL. Exactly right. But then people can't witch hunt and act like they don't have a variant of AI psychosis. Even companies supposedly replacing employees with AI agents, ultimately hire people in countries like India to man those AI agents. All AI in those cases is, is a smokescreen to deprive front line employees in their own countries for cheaper employees in other countries, and it works, because of people like our AI psychotic friend you replied to.

In reply to Blu. Yeah, no, anyone who's actually working with AI tools for their actual jobs understands the "promise" of AI is mostly hype. These models are not capable of producing anything without constant human monitoring and intervention, except for straight slop. If Capcom has grander ambitions for AI than what they've stated, my guess is it will fail. After all, whether LLMs are actually AI is debatable. These models are a tool for humans to use, not a replacement for them.

Human sensibility = good taste

The entire industry is adopting this talking point besides Level 5 who just came out with it. Everyone else is pretending their AI use is minimal to avoid backlash being severe. Japan can’t outright fire employees like the West, but they can setup programs to get the to quit when the time comes.

Capcom and Bamco are developing their own AI generation themselves if right, so their ambition is going beyond most. One can hope their reason is what was said, yet they are a corporation that has it’s question positioning and actions brushed aside because of recent games.

I can see smaller studios trusting in their teams easier, it’s just my intuition talking considering Capcom has near exhausted their big remakes and have to dig further to avoid having to take risks altogether again with new IP. Remaking the first DMC is the last gasp before considering how the can rework MegaMan, who is always their side option.

I’m realizing new developers are not as skilled as prior generation and have experience with limitations, and a bit of irony given Capcom is going to use NVidias crap AI feature. No idea if the walked back. I get it if so, yet it’s the obvious lie of routine tasks only as if you don’t start cutting back more and debs forget how to do them. The AI will remember, so it’s no different than blaming economy later when time to get voluntary dismissals.
