Akihiro Hino, CEO of Level-5, wrote a lengthy message regarding a viral post on social network X. Mr. Hino said that many developers, not just Level-5, are currently using AI to improve efficiency, but they just don't make it public. Level-5 does not use AI for 90% of its code, as suggested by a viral post that Hino said was false. He also said that if AI is seen as an evil tool and ostracized by the general public, it could hinder technological progress in video game design and development. He concluded that AI could move big-budget game development from 5-10 years to 2 years. A rough translation is:
“We came across an incident where a game developer had an award revoked for using AI.Then the fact that Level-5 had previously announced that they were using AI to improve development efficiency was uncovered, which sparked a lot of discussion.I would like to briefly talk about this.
First, I think that at this point, many game developers are already integrating AI into their workflows to improve efficiency. The only difference is whether or not to make it public. However, the claim that “Level 5 will have AI writing 80-90% of the programming code” is a huge misconception. Actually, there is an unreleased title with an AI theme. About that particular titleprogrammers intentionally talked about letting AI write code. An example of this came up in the context of “Maybe such a time may come,'' and the idea exploded on its own.
Conversely, if we Really If we can create games where 80-90% of the code is written by AI, we'll be so far ahead that AI researchers will beg to collaborate with us. We are not at that level yet. However, AI teethThis saved us so much development time that it could potentially overturn established standards in game production. Instead of a AAA game that takes 5-10 years to develop, a future where you play one every two years might actually be possible.
AI is sometimes treated as if it is synonymous with plagiarism. But let's think about knives. Knives can be used for cooking and can also be used as weapons. Computers are not only used for creating games, but also for cybercrime. AI can create plagiarized content depending on how it is used, but when used properly; Enrich your creative world.
I would like to see games evolve further in my lifetime. I want to witness and create dream games that exceed today's AAA standards. If we instill in society the image that “using AI is evil,'' digital technology may fall far behind. I hope that both creators and consumers understand that “AI is a tool for humans to create works.''
We sincerely hope that the game industry will continue to develop through continuous technological innovation. ”
