You know it’s bad for AI when even Peter Molyneux, king of overpromising, is tepid on its use in game dev: ‘I think we have to be very, very careful’

Peter Molyneux expressed skepticism about the current capabilities of artificial intelligence in gaming, stating that "AI is not of a high enough quality for us to really use in games right now." He emphasized the need for caution and responsibility in applying AI technology. Molyneux acknowledged AI's potential for disruption but highlighted humanity's ability to adapt to emerging technologies. His views contrast with other gaming companies that have faced backlash for integrating AI into their projects. Molyneux's cautious stance serves as a reminder that AI's applications are still evolving and can lead to unintended consequences in creative processes.
