Just think of it, YOU can be the one implementing AI into games through API's or learning how to code them into your game. You could do this in a creative way so it's still a unique game to you and for your players. Once AI can do it all on it's own, it's up to the creativity of the prompting that will set games apart depending on what kind of things they implement, so you'd definitely still be able to sell games, especially if you've made a few successful ones at that point (with or without AI in them) and because you'll have people who are loyal to you/your brand/your games they'll be much more likely to buy your new ones just because of that.

Besides, at that point, probably most people won't have jobs, so you absolutely won't be alone.

I’ll be a pedantic prick and say we often invent things just because we can, too lol

Try to have fun, there was no point in anything initially.

Yes it was the election, and certainly not anything else that happened that year.

Clearly

Anything but shower, amirite?

Another election denier eh?
This is a joke but due to the sensitive nature of the topic i have to be explicit about that

Tell me about it, I'm supposed to be finishing med school and there will probably be a language model capable of better diagnosis than any human doctor by the time I get my degree

The opposite, he caused a few companies to close down.

Turn the field into grey goo. Instruct the grey goo to form wood and concrete. Done.

Welcome to the club, please take a seat right next to the artists and writers.

It has to start somewhere

Deranged? you know i saw your first reply before you edited it and sheesh you are raging, you work at facebook or something? Man’s acting like i insulted his whole bloodline😂

VR would have naturally developed a Quest 2 when it needed to and could, it’d also be a lot more organic, open and have a ton more & better games and a lot more competition incentivizing devs to improve, you act like a multi billion dollar company annexing the market and buying everything is the only way forward

>this just in, political ads help politicians win elections

Your uncaring attitude towards one of the biggest companies in the world admitting to have conducted the biggest psyop in history is concerning, your even more uncaring attitude towards the most powerful person in the VR industry being the same one that lead advertising for Facebook and personally overseen the massive psyop that helped trump win is the only thing in here that can be called deranged

not everyone likes to interact with people. let them have the option to choose

There will be a massacre among white collar jobs. I expect accelerated layoffs toeards the end of this decade.

The problem is, this are professionals that are hard to retrain. A fired grocery/factory worker can plug into something new due to low barriers.

If you want the professional lifestyle, you might take 5 years for a new profession and job experience for a good sallary position.

And AI will catch up to you in 5 years. Firing white collar workers destablizes the pillars of the capitalist system, which is good at large.

As someone else said , AI will be a tool that gives you 'staff'. What you want to do is focus on being a producer of games. The 'programming' of the future will be the generating the prompts and tying all the responses together into a complete game.

If you look at the images AI is generating now the great output is really coming from people laterally thinking. I want a chicken in Armor kind of thinking. They are 'producing' the image. AI is just their staff.

The more lateral your game idea the more AI becomes a tool and not a competitor.

At least for now, lateral thinking , prompt programming and being to tie bits together , will be a winning formula

I don’t think in exactly 3 years, but the point it will be up to 10 years for example. Somebody had nice opinion about that, but as you say I’m wondering if continue programming or no, but I think it’s great idea to learn work with ai and do stuff with that

Yeah, he did that a couple years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7MvGFX_VKo

His video from a couple days ago is really great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ZGq8Tah0k

Most articles are not primary resource so it's just some ones opinion. I don't see in the near future robots taking over construction. This has been talked about for decades. If I was pushed into a new occupation by robots taking my current job (construction) it's probably for the better.

Is there any point in doing woodwork at home when you can just buy furniture from IKEA?

Some would say no but there's a satisfaction from creating something yourself.

Make your games for yourself, not to compete with AI

I have a feeling that ever task over a certain cognitive complexity will be automated at about the same time. Software development is definitely in this group.

If you truly believe that there will be no need for software developers in 3 years (I think this is truly far-fetched), then you have to conclude that there will probably be very few jobs left in 3 years. So, you might as well pursue what interests you anyways.

This sub should have a kids section.

Yeah, but then another one comes along, says all the right things, momentum is lost, and you're back to square one. There is no getting out of the system, you participate or leave for a less secure area of the world. It's a losing battle. If you can't beat'm, join'm.

OP, are you over or under 14?

That is very good mindset about this and also it’s great point, I never thought of it that way.

I'm also interested in game dev and I see this in the opposite way. Right now I could either try to make it as a solo indie dev, or be someone's employee in the field. The first option is extremely hard while the second doesn't interest me. I rather do web dev if I'm gonna be an employee.

Thanks to AI this might change in a couple of years. If these tools keep evolving it might get to a point where I have a bunch of AIs doing everything for me, art, programming, music, etc. while I act as the designer and director. This would allow me to do stuff that's completely out of my reach right now, so I'm very excited about the future.
