Video Game Designers

It depends on how one views the situation. If you are trying to build something original, it is natural to do some hand-sketched storyboards before the actual development starts. However, if you are just having an AI model iterating through designs, that could be a possibility too

In my opinion if they managed to a lot of people might not be to happy or video play games much anymore if I was gonna put robots on a job it would be law enforcement due to the fact they can be repaired where us humans can not however I believe water or electricity would be a big problem and maybe reorganizing faces

it requires heart, talent and love. ai cannot reproduce this.

creativity is just 1 reason why this can and shouldn't happen

Game design is a job that require innovation and creativeness which cannot be taken by ai which relies on the data which is already used by people and the designershould also understand the perspective of the audience.it atill can do the things associated with it like 3d models,animations,coding etc.

it combines so many jobs artist programmer music and more all of these ai can technically do but when they reference there own creations slowly decrease in quality. combining those is a completely different thing that i don't think ai can do

As a professional game designer at a AAA company, there are many pieces of design that can and will be automated. The overall career will not be eliminated because there will always be a desire for human-led art experiences, however the job openings in the field will drop drastically, companies that churn slop mobile games can easily churn those designs using AI almost from top to bottom.

What will have taken a team of designers even now appears to soon be able to take one or two designers at most.

Expect a new indie revolution in gaming when it hits this point.

No chance they can be video game designers but not a good game they can make like nothing beats minecraft, roblox, call of duty, csgo, tf2 or whatever the best video games you name it ai will never beat these video games we love

Cuz AI can make ideas, scripts, design but it won't compare to hard work

It needs multiple things on game. Background music, concepts, story of game, programming, design of game character etc. I don't think that bot thing can replace it. Please don't.

Honestly, next year i might start a bachelors degree in game design, and im terrified of everything getting taken over by ai. I already have an associates degree in graphic design and seeing how people rather use AI than paying an actual designer frightens me so bad

in the next 5 years, i don't think its gonna happen.
Currently AI sometimes messes up simple programs,
and also the AI making 3D models, making levels, animating, coding matchmaking, adding an anti cheat, and adding system protection against ddos attacks of a server seems impossible looking at the stuff Ai can do today

it could be likely that ai gets some sort of artifical sentience if you know what i mean, in the future originality might be able to be recreated by ai and from that 3d modeling, coding, UI, etc. is already able to be made by ai (some not so well but ai is getting smarter by the day so its no suprise that it would be done)

Usually, when AI writes code and/or makes models, most of the time, they don't feel "real."

They feel lifeless and inert.

As of right now the methods on which AI is trained to write code have some underlying issues that I can't see programmers getting around for another 5 years or so.

We all love good games. Yet, I'm EXTREMELY skeptical of AI's abilities to create fulfilling and interesting, in-depth games.

While I do think that any digital profession has some risk involving AI, as an aspiring indie game dev I know the creativity and originality required to succeed in the market are both in high amounts, something a Robot will likely never be able to automate

well i think that if chatgpt can calculate code and even photos then it is perfectly capable

most people are fighting against the use of AI in media as it often results in the media feeling lifeless.
creativity is also an aspect that AI cant control as it needs past data to create something but it cant create something out of the blue

While AI isn't currently outstanding at programming as of 2024, it is certainly not bad at it. I believe that in 20 years, the majority of jobs, including game design, will be automated. Of course, this doesn't mean that all game designers will be jobless. However, the industry is poised for a significant transformation.

I envision game design becoming user-centric, accessible to everyone. Here's how I think it will work: Imagine you're a person who enjoys video games but has never programmed in your life. That's perfectly fine, as the AI can handle everything for you. All you need to do is convey the concept of the game to the AI, and it will bring it to life.

Want to get specific? The AI will enable you to configure the game mechanics, assets, art style, and everything else according to your imagination. In this future, games will be created by anyone and everyone.

With the addition of custom GPTs, this surely seems like the future we are headed towards. This won't be limited to only video games but will apply to everything.

What an exciting future :)
