    This is the same guy that dismissed AI being able to write for video games in the future.

    Both this and that commentary struck me as someone with a bit of an overinflated sense of their own ability.

    BuoWare stuff was good, but not the best writing I’ve seen in games, and certainly not the best writing I’ve seen in media at large.

    The biggest accomplishment was doing branching dialogue well in an AAA game. (Something automation is going to do incredibly well at aiding).

      you talk like someone who never had to work with dialog

      AI is completely garbage at doing anything like this well unless your standards are at asset flip tier

        You talk like someone who hasn’t really worked with LLMs much beyond checking out the free tier of ChatGPT for 15 minutes…
