@All_bonesJones I remember reading about this one. This also reminds me about experiments with Quantum Theory, where outcomes would change depending on someone watching, this also was regardless of whether that person was physically present in the lab or watching via the internet. A possible conclusion could be that human attention is inherently supernatural, in whatever specific way exactly.
Constructing Meaning (aka Constructivism) as a theoretical claim about the nature of meaning itself is a theory stemming directly from Critical Theory, which is a successor of Marxism. There is no constructed meaning in reality, either we find meaning in something or not. This doubly applies to games, art, and entertainment, and triple for human existence in this world. In the Christian context known as Logos: meaning as participation in an objective, intelligible order.
@leespringfield1903 how many times has that fgt podcaster quit by now? why is he even there lol
@sun @dcc @j @p @lanodan @hj there's no problem with using mindless AI for whatever work you want it to do, that's the ideal usage for it imo. The problem arises when people expect it to understand things, or expect it to "develop" consciousness. This error stems from how modern neuroscience theorises about human consciousness (network) so they cannot see why a complex-enough artificial network wouldn't achieve consequences too, which is all nonsense of course (dead ≠ living)
He also spoke about the holy grail of AI in gaming, on the fly generated reaction to player agency. They admitted they're not there yet. This is an area where AI could introduce a qualitative quantum leap in gaming. The type where everything without it will look lame and bland.
For all the doom and gloom when it comes to AI in this interview the Baldur's Gate 3 developer gave reasonable and very pragmatic answers. AI will not replace humans, AI will not replace any human creativity, AI will only process mundane and repetitive tasks (cleaning audio, transferring animations, etc.) no one wants to do, which will free up human talent for actual creative work. This is a win-win and how AI should actually be used.
@markovjulia Oh hello reality check, This is a paraphrasing of the original quote which is from Aristotle. also this guy is a literal Mossad agent Fuck that guy
