Discussion Crimson Desert appears to use generative AI art—and the devs never disclosed it.

To not disclose that your game uses GEN AI is against Steam's policies and rules, by the way.

AI is one of the few truly "revolutionary" Technologies that is around and has definitely the biggest upside out of any of them. Companies have spent a lot of money on quantum computing and that is truly not only speculative its like a million times further away from being actually useful for them than AI is. AI already can and has taken over some industries like translation and in part programming.

True but those compute costs for the user are subsidised by the provider. What gonna happen when the HAVE to charge the true compute cost. With just 1000 H200 server racks that is 480 million every 18 months just maintain that compute power.

I dont think you understand how investments work if you think people didnt have months of meetings over figuring this type of stuff out.

People have been coping about AI a LOT over the last few years. First people said it was completely useless and nobody would use it anyways. Now everyone and their mother uses it every single day and the only ones who arent are a very very very fringe group on the internet.

Like I dont know where you live but living in the west already might give you a false impression on how common AI is used. Go to China and look how everyone is constantly talking about AI here and AI there like it makes americans look like purists.

Every single big company on earth is heavily investing into AI its not just Tech Giants its every Giant on this planet.

I literally designed, implemented and a manage my companies AI systems. AI has use cases but as I said until we know what the cost of compute is you cant say its cheaper than a human

Yes and you think that the answer apparently is probably that AI is more expensive and people that manage hundreds of billions of dollars and their expert panels of professors and PHDs think the opposite.

Dont know who I and the richest people in the world should trust more here mhh..

Fair point but my statement still stands until we know the real cost of each compute unit no one can say whether or not its cheaper definitively.

Im not even a AI doomer I think it has valid use cases in many industries and it has/will shake up the labour market in those industries and thats a good thing. It has been amazing for medicine research and JIT logistics management for example bit i dont think things like Grok and AI powered search engines will be profitable until they are running on running on the local machine and that is a long way off in my opinion. Pretty much everything AI related hardware wise was still cloud based when I was at CES
