AI is creating an inequality of outcomes in the gaming industry. Programmers and marketers expect it will make them more productive while artists, voice actors and QA think it will eliminate jobs.
Given the layoff trend in the industry, it’s a valid fear.

@carnage4life Yeah, that sounds correct.
So much of game development is prioritization. If you can use a machine to take care of the small, low-priority tasks, that frees up the humans to deal with the more important stuff. But, then you need fewer, more-experienced humans instead of an army of pixel-painters.
So, much like any automation, it's killing the shitty jobs, but hopefully in the long run, it'll be shifting those into new good jobs.
