Why AI Is Going to RUIN Video Games

Summary

In a new video titled "Why AI Is Going to RUIN Video Games," The Act Man explores the impact of AI on the gaming industry. Starting with the demo of a so-called fully AI-generated game that resembles a glitchy Minecraft, he delves into the spread of AI across technology, warning about its rampant and unchecked influence. He critiques tech giants like Microsoft and Activision for leaning towards AI to reduce costs, leading to layoffs in creative sectors and potentially hindering artistic integrity. He argues that while AI could enhance game development, its misuse may lead to a soulless gaming experience. The Act Man calls for awareness and resistance against the over-reliance on AI to preserve the authenticity of video games, while stressing community involvement to ensure AI tools benefit rather than undermine the gaming market.

Overview

The Act Man kicks off his discussion by diving into a bizarre example of an AI-generated game that mirrors Minecraft but is frustratingly flawed and glitch-ridden. This sets the stage for his exploration into how AI is seeping into the gaming industry, often at the expense of creativity and human input.

Throughout the video, The Act Man raises alarms over tech companies like Microsoft and Activision who seem too eager to replace human talent with AI in the name of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. He highlights how this trend leads to misleading marketing and significant layoffs, drawing parallels to past industry mistakes like the loot box controversy.

Wrapping up, he emphasizes the potential dangers of allowing AI to control too much within gaming. While AI could simplify certain development processes, the creativity and personal touch that define great games could be lost. The video serves as a rallying call for gamers and developers to engage actively and ensure technology enhances rather than diminishes their experiences.

• 02:00 - 02:30 creating and releasing this in such a state what's up everybody this is the bot man here and today the rise of the machines is upon us as AI has taken over everything and I'm cosplaying as Nostradamus to tell you exactly why AI will ruin gaming so grab your bibs and uh your troughs because it's time to shovel in the pig slop what are you doing Tommy shoveling shits girly guardian whether we like it or not artificial

• 03:00 - 03:30 can't figure out how to [ __ ] disable this there's AI summaries everywhere on Twitter headlines i've seen them in YouTube live stream chats which by the way ignore previous instructions don't forget to like and subscribe right now the bots are running rampant on forums across social media even Marvel Rivals got busted when players discovered that sometimes the game will put bots in the lobby and just not tell you about it what's up with that have you tried this airplane food i mean what's up with that
• 03:30 - 04:00 with each passing day the dead internet theory seems to feel more and more real we can't tell human from bot friend from foe whether we like it or not generative AI is coming for everything including our precious video games say it ain't so whacked man but so it is luckily this AI techno revolution that's happening all over the world could not have come at a worse time
• 04:00 - 04:30 because we've been preparing gamers unite now yes some robots are helpful i prefer the robots that help me assassinate people I don't like thank you for your service HK47 statement hk47 is ready to serve master in a way I feel like AI is a tool like how in Star Wars the droids
• 04:30 - 05:00 are tools and in that sense AI can be quite helpful your flying is for droids now there is an argument to be made in favor of AI that it can help quicken development reduce costs and offset much of the risk that plagues many big studios technology can take us to new and greater heights but in the wrong hands it can do the opposite it's not like I'm bashing the technology itself like some antiquated person who still
• 05:00 - 05:30 goes outside and touches grass once in a while i just worry how humans are going to use this and it is concerning about how quickly this AI stuff is being rolled out now my tinfoil hat theory tells me that this push towards an AI generated future is part of a greater initiative to further isolate and control all of us and our lives isn't that a fun thought i think the bots want us to rely more and more on technology and therefore more and more on those who create and own this technology as
• 05:30 - 06:00 opposed to relying on real people more why read someone else's Reddit post explaining how to fix this extremely specific computer issue that you and only two people on the planet have ever had well there's a robot to sum it up for you problem is he doesn't always get everything right there's no real social interaction required actually ActMan I think generative AI will lead to more jobs and better products for everyone really did you skip the first like
• 06:00 - 06:30 minute of the video but I'm also jaded and I've watched Terminator one too many times or maybe I worry about how human nature ensures our species is always bound to abuse any new technology before we learn how to use it responsibly wait a minute humans never learned how to use technology responsibly just ask this fire and oh my god in its current form AI technology is ripe for abuse but thankfully it's going to take a couple
• 06:30 - 07:00 of years before we really start to see any sort of negative effects of this i'm sure all the awesome AI games are right around the corner controversial AI Guitar Hero ad was with market research for fake game isn't that lovely okay okay so far we have shitty Minecraft and fake video game where's my wallet i I want to give you money yes uh one fake video game please thank you yes thank you for this transaction what do I do now don't ask questions just consume
• 07:00 - 07:30 product are you enjoying your slap yet are you enjoying it eat the poop eat the poop and be happy that is one big pile of [ __ ] this was an official post from the verified Activision Instagram account like what why why would you do this this is what it's supposed to look like if you were a teenager in 2008 this image should be burned into your retina you know what I
• 07:30 - 08:00 love most about it is that all the colors are wrong and they're different see how like this one's blue then it turns into purple and then these notes are red or what what about this one with the pink note but the blue dot in the middle on the blue like why are there two blues and a red and pink and orange is right it's it's [ __ ] it's [ __ ] by the way it's This is dog [ __ ] i also love how like the entire crowd on the sides are just sitting respectfully you know as as you do at concerts ah yes red Hot
• 08:00 - 08:30 Chili Peppers yes indeed i do tend to partake in listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers indeed dear God look every speaker looks different too that's just Yeah why this comes to us from Game Rant as it turns out the new Guitar Hero game this divisive ad is meant to promote doesn't even exist what the Instead the fake advertisement is part of a market research campaign Activision has set up to see if fans would like to see a new
• 08:30 - 09:00 Guitar Hero game someday activision has also released fake advertisements for two new Call of Duty game why what who what what are you doing clicking on some of these fake ads would take users to a mock mobile store page what comes next is a message saying that the game in question isn't real yet but it could be someday followed by a quick questionnaire asking what players would like to see in a new Guitar Hero game so let me get this straight you
• 09:00 - 09:30 baited your followers with a fake ad and then asked them to kindly fill out a form for you to collect data from you want to know what I want from a new Guitar Hero well how about a [ __ ] video game how about one of those uh no what what a flawlessly executed strategy it's not like Activision could have simply used it various social media platforms and Guitar Hero accounts to just say "Hey what do you guys want from a new Guitar Hero game?" Wh why why why
• 09:30 - 10:00 make fake art for [ __ ] engagement bait is this the type of marketing we're going to have to deal with where every [ __ ] piece of promotional material we're going to have to look at and be like "All right let's see what the fingers are is this fake [ __ ] that." But to a greater point are the people that own Guitar Hero confused about what made it successful is that why you're asking like like dude it it was pretty [ __ ] simple you played music with a physical controller that looked like a guitar
• 10:00 - 10:30 [ __ ] it rock Band and Guitar Hero were successful because you just played awesome music with fake instruments what do people want from a Guitar Hero game something that they can physically use to play the instrument that like that's it that's all it was it was a really fun gimmick with some kick-ass music you know what this was it was Activision wanting to gauge people's interest in a new Guitar Hero without actually doing anything to engage our interest you could have just paid some teenage furry
• 10:30 - 11:00 from Deviant Art a hundred bucks to make some cool concept art like why not did I mention I just finished going through all the submissions for my $8,000 art contest that's right folks i have the best fans in the world and the most talented fans these are images AI could not generate shout out to everybody who put some time and effort into making art i'm going to be posting the video and naming all the winners on ActMan TV so be sure to subscribe and stay tuned and congratulations to Soul Ant for getting
• 11:00 - 11:30 my face just perfect height chart for this incredible beautiful piece of me and Kirby and VWV Nicholas these three amazing artists will win at least $100 and they have a chance for the top three prizes go subscribe to my second channel ActMan TV now call me a skeptic or superstitious but I think we might be on the verge of another loot box type fiasco with AI oh yeah i almost forgot about those damn things see when CEO of EA Andrew Wilson realized he could turn
• 11:30 - 12:00 the company's annual sports franchises into a front for their own private digital casinos well he jumped on it and so did every other publisher loot boxes objectively made games worse but to justify their existence companies had to come up with uh how do you call it [ __ ] excuses uh wait won't wreck packs with special weapons break the exquisitly refined balance of arena multiplayer secure your noise hole soldier grown-ups are talking damn it
• 12:00 - 12:30 there was only one game I played that managed to do loot boxes right and wouldn't you know Vermentide 2 only game where they're not monetized funny how that works but that's the thing how many games is generative AI going to improve and how many is it going to make into slop the function of a loot box was to replace in-game progression the material reward you get for your time invested and turn it into a slot machine contrary to popular belief loot boxes did not
• 12:30 - 13:00 give players a sense of pride and accomplishment star Wars Battlefront 2 was a straw that broke the camel's back and the entire gaming community pushed back against this practice that had simply gone too far we created such a massive PR disaster for any company bold enough to keep going down this path that eventually they all stopped with generative AI on the horizon the potential for it to be mass adopted we have to be willing to push back against this [ __ ] the same way we did with loot
• 13:00 - 13:30 boxes if these AI tools end up making games worse then we have to make sure using these AI tools isn't good for business vote with your wallets in previous videos we've gone over the mass layoffs across the game industry we've seen multiple major studio flops like Sony just just throwing bags of money into the furnace oh yeah you remember that one game that was just a [ __ ] scam i can't seem to remember the name but I think it came out the day before but right now it
• 13:30 - 14:00 seems like Activision is the one making the big push you can bet Invisible Woman's sweet textured ad that publishers like Activision are going to lay off whoever they can if it means they can save a little bit of change oh wait they already have first they came for the artists and I did not speak up because I was not an artist activision finally admits it uses generative AI for Black Ops 6 assets i think the language is pretty funny don't you they admitted
• 14:00 - 14:30 it kind of like how you'd admit to a crime after acquiring Activision Blizzard Microsoft laid off over,900 staff members these layoffs occurred just months after Activision sold an undisclosed AI generated skin bundle in Modern Warfare 3 hm record-breaking layoffs happening alongside the rise of AI generated art in a land brimming with hollows could that really be mere chance anonymous Activision artists reported to
• 14:30 - 15:00 Wired that a lot of 2D artists were laid off and the ones who remained were forced to use AI to aid in their work is that I will make it yeah feed the pigs the slop feed them the slop or you're fired are you eating the slop make the meat poop eat the [ __ ] pig slop then they came for the voice actors and I did not speak up because I was not an act if you recall back in December Activision released a Christmas themed zombie
• 15:00 - 15:30 battle pass for Black Ops 6 what better way to share the Christmas spirit than to have a robot manufacture it i made a previous video about this you can check it out if you're interested always check the fingers but it goes without saying fans didn't want to eat the pig slop number one because humans make better art and number two there are some ethical dilemmas around including AI art and content and not disclosing it activision is taking advantage of the murky legal waters to see what they can
• 15:30 - 16:00 get away with but there is yet hope all is not lost as long as Lord Gaiman and Valve do not abandon us last year Steam established new guidelines around the use of AI forcing developers to disclose if and how this technology is used steam at least says it may investigate these games before allowing them to sell on the platform which is interesting what Activision was doing by adding the AI stuff after it came out on Steam maybe a
• 16:00 - 16:30 little way to sneak under the rug there i see what you did you naughty naughty if Valve does a good job of enforcing this it'll only be good for gamers since they own the biggest share of the PC market out of anybody thank goodness they're on our side for now these types of AI disclosures I think should be mandatory so that gamers are better able to make informed purchasing decisions in addition to artists and animators AI is also capable of replacing our beloved
• 16:30 - 17:00 actors you know those people that all the nerds get together and are like "Hey I want an autograph from this person cuz they think they're so [ __ ] cool." Oh well [ __ ] them i could have told you you may have heard of the Screen Actors Guild strike SAG Astra its members are still in the midst of an ongoing strike that started last year these actors and voiceover artists have a simple goal to secure protections for their work their performances so companies can't just you know mercilessly use AI to steal their
• 17:00 - 17:30 voice face and likeness and just uh have a robot make their performance after that ai has got some really really useful tools and it's here to stay there's no arguing with that but when it's used to uh to replicate you know either characters or or real people without consent or permission that's that's not a difficult stance for me i I I'm dead against it here's an excerpt from SAG Afterra you could be told nothing about your replica being used offered nothing in the way of payment
• 17:30 - 18:00 and you could do nothing about it they want to be able to make your replica continue to work as you during a future strike whether you like it or not and once you've given your specific consent for how your replica can be used they refuse to tell you what they actually did with it truly horrifying stuff isn't it weird then that right as these AI generated cosmetics came out in Black Ops 6 that fans noticed characters in the new map sounded different that's
• 18:00 - 18:30 right the actors who played Samantha Maxis and William Peek weren't the original actors h AI cosmetics being released at the same time as talented voice actors quitting in a land brimming with hollows could that really be mere chance now it's important to know that the actors who replaced Samantha and Peek are not scabs saga has not struck Black Ops 6 or said "Hey nobody can work on this." The actors who left did so for their own personal reasons they were not fired and none of the VO cast was replaced with AI as had been previously
• 18:30 - 19:00 reported but who cares Eggman if these actors don't have protections don't like it then screw off i mean Samantha Maxis who even is that the teddy bear i can't imagine any serious Zombies fan is going to care about any of this stop stop stop stop stop stop no i don't I don't want to hear another word i don't want to peep out of you just shut the [ __ ] up please you can't be coming in here from wherever the [ __ ] i don't know Valhalla
• 19:00 - 19:30 or something Halo looking ass and coming in with your zombies opinions first of all saying Black Ops 4 zombies is the best of all time okay categorically wrong second of all what were you Modern Warfare zombies biggest fan dumbass and now this Samantha is not a [ __ ] teddy bear google it next time do me a favor just leave and never come back just just just do what we were all we're all hoping and praying for you know [ __ ]
• 19:30 - 20:00 right back at you Milo because after all what sense does it make to hire artists or actors when you can simply manufacture them now we have yet to see the positive impacts that AI has on game development but for consumers for for people that like consuming look look at all the stuff I have i I'm a good consumer make good product me i'm sure these positive impacts are right around the corner the issues with Activision Guitar Hero and Call of Duty
• 20:00 - 20:30 are merely the tip of this AI slot and I have to wonder well who is it that's leading this vanguard this push towards AI gaming why yes it's Microsoft gaming now Microsoft is one of the companies that voice actors are seeking protections from but they have not agreed to those terms yet which implies that Microsoft wants to be able to train AI so they can take full control over someone else's performance and use it to
• 20:30 - 21:00 their own ends and that means ladies and gentlemen and I don't think you realize what that means we might be witnessing the legendary battle of copyright versus AI who will come out on top personally I hope these two villains destroy each other of course Microsoft is the one uh leading the vanguard for AI and video games because if there's a way to suck the soul out of a franchise Microsoft will know better than anyone hey Banjo
• 21:00 - 21:30 Kazouie are you still dead yes yes Xbox will have a catalog of games soon that will start using these AI Muse models says Microsoft CEO Satio Nadella in fact when Phil Spencer first showed it to me he had an Xbox controller and this model basically took the input and generated the output based on the input that to me is a massive moment of wow it's kind of like the first time we saw chat GPT complete sentences wait am I understanding this correctly are you
• 21:30 - 22:00 saying that if I push a button if I input something on my controller it will generate some kind of outcome over there on the screen this is This is highbrow stuff that like there would be a screen flashing with things happening as I press buttons this is impossible this is all sounding fantastic let's see a little snippet of gameplay
• 22:00 - 22:30 well I guess today's the day huh this has been the Actman signing out just to be safe why why are you posting this why are you sharing this am I supposed to feel something what this is It's just pixelated nonsense how about you make a video game with this [ __ ] and actually show me that instead of whatever the hell this is supposed to be yes it's capable of generating a shitty knockoff Overwatch why why is
• 22:30 - 23:00 this crazy but like aren't AIs just inherently limited to what humans create therefore anything an AI generates will have to be based on something that man created so it's always going to be a worse version of that at least in terms of entertainment i don't I don't know gee the lack of humility before nature here staggers me look I know this is kind of early in the game but this AI generated gameplay genuinely looks [ __ ] worse than the day before i'll be honest I really don't understand why
• 23:00 - 23:30 publishers like Microsoft are pushing so hard on AI it's like Oblivion already perfected AI in 2006 there was no need to push a technology further you don't believe me farewell yeah perfect AI i rest my case may you rest in peace you know I'm still not sold on this idea of using generative AI to help develop video games but I think Phil
• 23:30 - 24:00 Spencer has a sales pitch for us introducing Muse our first generative AI model designed for gameplay ideiation it's great to be here uh you might have seen like some exciting news came out about work that our teams are doing on the world human action model super exciting super exciting the world human action model is that is that a video game because I only really give a [ __ ] about video games i'm here to spend money on on video games and I want to play video games i'm sorry please
• 24:00 - 24:30 continue phil you're looking great by the way we definitely look at this work as a unique opportunity to kind of leverage the intersection of art and science which is what video games are leverage science and art we already have the blueprint dog you guys published Halo you just Gears of War conquer AI [ __ ] ain't going to make a new Conquer game we definitely look at this work as a unique opportunity to kind of leverage the intersection of art and science
• 24:30 - 25:00 which is what video games are to grow with the creator community that's what these tools are about i don't think so Phil i don't think so i don't think this is about growing video game creators i don't know can't can't piece it together though record-breaking layoffs just a coincidence I'm sure i'll tell you one of the things that I get excited about let's hear it Phil you know one of the things we care a lot about at Xbox is game preservation and I think about an opportunity to have models learn about older games games that were maybe tied
• 25:00 - 25:30 to unique pieces of hardware where that engine on that hardware is kind of time will erode the amount of hardware that's out there that can actually play a game what I don't know what the [ __ ] Phil is talking about right now like isn't technology already capable of preserving video games and porting them to newer hardware does anybody know what a what an emulator is well like what is he saying here correct me if I'm wrong but it's just Do we not have that technology
• 25:30 - 26:00 already how is AI going to preserve video games better i don't know how you port a game from one platform to another but I have traded a lot of Pokemon and I think it's kind of similar right as long as the new hardware has a way to access the old hardware then you're good right i mean we have all these [ __ ] emulators like I can play Symphony of the Night on my Xbox One or the Series X i can play Mario Party 3 on the Switch like are we not capable of emulation and
• 26:00 - 26:30 it's above my pay grade in a world full of robots sometimes we here at Xbox like to make video games the oldfashioned way with real people i don't know it really doesn't seem like Phil's heart is uh in on this that's the final test Squidward the love test robots can't love i don't know this just feels like a whole new era of [ __ ] logic used to sidestep the actual creative process of making video games and making them fun like
• 26:30 - 27:00 even going back to the Xbox One it seems like Microsoft has always been focused on look at all these advanced new technologies tv TV watch TV TV TV TV remote TV experience and uh we're going to use this to make better video games what's that one new Halo game uh yeah that's going to be about uh 10 years yeah 10 10 years but look at all these new tools we have to make video games 10 years 10 years [ __ ] Halo 5 came out in 2015 man I won't cry i don't know
• 27:00 - 27:30 call me old-fashioned but shouldn't the way you utilize AI like be in the video game like let's focus on creating dynamic cool enemies with advanced AI fromoft has done that once or twice worked out pretty well for them instead we get all this crap about game preservation that to me makes no sense but I could be wrong however Microsoft continues to prove that yes they are a software company they are always trying to find the best most efficient
• 27:30 - 28:00 cost-effective methods to develop software but software is not entertainment entertainment is art it comes from the heart software is a means to create entertainment i I try to stay away from food analogies with video games but Microsoft is basically the company that creates the pizza ovens right but they don't have the recipes and they don't know how to cook a pizza make it a pizza they don't know the artistry behind consumerism they only know how to create the systems that drive people to spend money they are the
• 28:00 - 28:30 how not the why and they continue to demonstrate this lack of understanding of what gamers want good video games that's it if Microsoft truly prioritized great video games and those that make them then Phil why aren't you talking about a sequel to Hi-Fi Rush why talk about this [ __ ] in conclusion if left unchecked if major corporations like Microsoft don't agree to terms with SAG ARA and protecting actors rights and they're going to continue this push without any sort of hesitation I think
• 28:30 - 29:00 AI is going to ruin a lot of video games or at least it has the potential to like I said if there's a way to suck the soul out of an entertainment franchise Microsoft will be the first and they'll do it better than anyone while AI isn't objectively bad it's all about who's in control of it who's guiding the prompts the game industry will never die but it has crashed once before and I think if we keep going down this path that possibility becomes greater and greater there's always going to be some
