The tagline of everything EA has touched for years now.
I mean it's definitely gonna be entertaining, but I'll watch that embarrassment from afar.
It wont if you dont buy their shit.

I can't start boycotting a company that I've been boycotting for well over a decade.
Carry on, sir.
Last thing I bought from them was Mass Effect (only the first one) circa 2008 I think.
"Making games with AI" sounds like hell… like this is what hell must be.
Sitting there prompting AI, getting shitty ass results, prompting it again and again until you eventually settle for slightly less shitty results. The frustration and the loss of agency… oh God, someone should make a psychological horror about this: a frustrated artist forced to ditch their skills and tools and use AI to bring their unique vision to life, and throughout the film you watch them descend deeper and deeper into madness and depression until they burn down a data center and laugh manically as it disintegrates around them.
I don't make computer games with AI, but I do create tabletop roleplaying adventures on a regular basis. I use AI for a lot of it. You have no idea what the workflow is. It's not hell, it's an enormous boon.
You are going to get downvoted, but you're right. AI doesn't need to be used for every part of the entire development process for it to be "made with the help of AI". There are certain parts of the workflow that I'm sure is already being done regularly with AI, for example commenting code.
Mindlessly feeding prompts into chatgpt for the entirety of the core code or art would be terrible.

So what's your process and how is it a boon?
Major applications I use AI for:
- Art, obviously. I generate lots of illustrations of the characters and other things they encounter. These days image generators have become good enough that I usually just have to describe things well in the prompt and get usable results, but if I need to edit the images to get them closer to what I need I run ComfyUI locally and have lots of models for that as well.
- I use producer.ai to generate custom music. Sometimes it's diagetic - in the previous campaign the party encountered an NPC that loved to sing about important plot developments in-universe - but mostly it's either background soundscape or supplementary songs (consider them like "theme music" that plays during the intro or credits). Producer.ai closed down new subscriptions a while back but I've also used Udio and Suno and they're both good too.
- I record the sessions and transcribe them using WhisperX. I feed the transcripts into NotebookLM and have it generate summaries and notes about the events of each session. It can also generate "overview" videos that work great as a 5-minute catch-up players can watch before the session if they've forgotten what happened last time.
- Since NotebookLM has all my campaign notes in it as source documents, as well as PDFs of the rulebooks, it's great for quickly whipping up stats for creatures when the players do something unexpected. It's also been a good brainstorming assistant, and it "knows" the names of every random little NPC or village we've seen along the way.
I've been experimenting with the Wan2.2 video model lately. It's not quite up to snuff for generating videos of meaningful length, but it's still pretty neat to be able to put a character portrait in and have a 5-second snippet of them just "being alive." I think it'll be a neat addition to having static portraits.
Aside from producer.ai, all of these tools are free. Though the WhisperX transcription program I use is a custom Python script, I'm not sure what would be a good solution for a non-programmer to spin up.
Edit: Downvoting me isn't making any of these tools less useful.
Whoa this is the next level DMing. Before, to get the same result, you better have a whole team writing and producing content. You have recaps, illustrations and music for a TTRPG, yes it's still a ton of manual work but looking at how fast things are moving, it wouldn't surprise me if this is an app in a few years and everyone gets this amazing experience.
The haters are so mad you got the robot to do some of the things it's for. Anything beyond 'I click the button and it draws a pretty lady! I'm a artist!' really fucks with their absolutism. That's a threat to ingroup solidarity for the ones who've made opposition part of their identity.

We are entering the dark ages of AAA games. They are going to be shallow ugly, buggy and dumb.
Support indie devs.

🌍🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀🌚
Support the open source devs. Spring engine games!
Clearly the fix the AAAA games.
This is actually kind of interesting. This gamble is very likely to fail, EA could finally die, and its valuable IP sold off to companies that would actually make better use of them.
The only wrinkle in this is that Trump's son in law owns EA now, so if it does end up failing, they'll probably find a way to get US tax payers to bail them out.

More likely snatched up by VC to put them on (fuck) ICE or passed around to other AI companies until they're really good and dead.
For those that don't know, Stability AI is already a zombie, even in the local ML community. SD3 was a flop, they shed all their devs/projects worth anything, and now with Qwen/Longcat SAI is beyond obsolete.
Apparently EA didn't get the message. They invested in a broken, burning company who's only decent results are free and old?
...Sounds about right.

LOL Good thing I am going to continue my boycott of anything EA, I can't wait to see how hard this is going to fail.
if isnt already bad enough that SAUDIA arabia and kushner owns it.
What a fucking surprise.
fuck ea I should have stop buying years ago
oh great since humans wont be working on it there will be no reason for it to cost money right?
EA is the world's shittiest game company. Just gutter trash all the way through.
yes ea please kill off your whole company, good riddance.
The industry finally embraces procedural textures, in the dumbest way possible.
Booooo EA Suuuuuuuuucks, it's always sucked, it's always gonna suck. As far as my purchasing power goes, this changes nothing. Rot in hell EA
This is not going to end well.
