Yoko briefly expressed concern that in the near future, game creators may lose their jobs because of AI, leading game development to be treated as a lost art, and game creators \u2013 as bards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoko Taro recently followed up on these claims on his X account, posting more predictions of how the development of AI technology may influence the gaming industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u5927\u4f53\u3001\u50d5\u306e\u4e88\u60f3\u3060\u3068\u3001\u4e00\u756a\u6700\u521d\u306b\uff21\uff29\u3067\u81ea\u52d5\u5316\u3055\u308c\u308b\u306e\u306f\uff23\uff27\u306e\u30e2\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u4f5c\u6210\u3060\u3063\u305f\u3093\u3060\u3051\u3069\u3002\u4eca\u306e\u3068\u3053\u308d\u5168\u7136\u305d\u3046\u306a\u3063\u3066\u306a\u3044\u4e8b\u304b\u3089\u3057\u3066\u4fe1\u7528\u3067\u304d\u306a\u3044\u3002 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OzsC288NCg\">https:\/\/t.co\/OzsC288NCg<\/a><\/p>&mdash; yokotaro (@yokotaro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yokotaro\/status\/1917431576750874671?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In his post, he lists three things he believes will happen as AI becomes more advanced and widespread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Using AI, regular people will become creators<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>You won\u2019t be able to make a living as a creator anymore<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>However, people who want to create games will do so even if they can\u2019t make a living out of it<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>He jokes, however, that most of his predictions for the future almost always turn out to be false, asking his followers not to think too deeply about them. In a follow-up quote post, he explains that he predicted that CG motion would be the first thing automated using AI \u2013 which was proven to be false. It\u2019s safe to say that he doesn\u2019t trust his own predictions either, so rest assured that AI won\u2019t be taking over the gaming industry anytime soon \u2013 or at least we hope so. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yoko Taro shares his predictions of how the development of AI technology may influence the gaming industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":47573,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[67,17],"class_list":["post-47571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-ai","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
