Dev insists a glossed-up version of Daggerfalls aesthetic was invented by AI, which is a bit like saying I can invent a new plane by drawing a picture of one
The recent comments by Tim Soret highlight a misunderstanding of both AI capabilities and artistic creation. While Soret claims AI has invented a new aesthetic, it's clear that human creativity laid the groundwork long before. "AI doesn't think, for starters." This statement reflects a critical flaw in the argument: AI merely mimics and generates based on existing ideas. - The videos praised by Soret lack the depth and nuance of actual game development. - They serve more as a proof-of-concept than a groundbreaking innovation. Ultimately, the conversation around AI in art should focus on collaboration rather than claiming invention. Machine learning can assist, but the human touch is irreplaceable in creating meaningful experiences.
