The actor of "Bad Gate 3" angrily denounced the use of AI for game development: no fun!
In a recent interview with Radio Times Gaming, Neil Newborn, an actor who plays Asdellen in "Bad Gate 3", criticized the phenomenon of using generative AI in game development. The actor, who won multiple performance awards for this role, said bluntly: "The developer doesn't want to use AI at all because it's too bad - he can only achieve half-baked results with his efforts. What's the fun to say?"
Neuben particularly emphasized the unique "wonderful accident" in human creation, which is a charm that cannot be replicated by AI. He concluded with two words: "AI sucks." The remarks echo similar views from Karak actor Samantha Beat earlier this year, with both actors believing that AI-generated content lacks soul.
With the rapid development of AI technology, its application has become the focus of controversy in the gaming industry. Although 3A masterpieces such as Call of Duty have begun to use AI to generate materials, the shadow of large-scale layoffs in the gaming industry and AI replacement in recent years has made practitioners increasingly resistant. Newborn acknowledges that AI technology may continue to improve, but questioned its necessity: "Why don't you come and create? Why don't you keep more fun? I have no interest in these synthetics"
Industry analysis points out that the actors' sensitivity to AI is particularly prominent - not only involves the dispute over creative concepts, but also directly affects the threat of digital stand-alone technology to its career prospects. Against the backdrop of film and television game companies continuing to promote AI applications, this debate on the nature of art may continue for a long time.
