Headline: AI Use in 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' Draws Fire From US Lawmaker
"The use of AI in the latest Call of Duty has prompted a US lawmaker to call for regulations to prevent artificial intelligence from taking jobs away from human workers. On Friday, Khanna tweeted: 'We need regulations that prevent companies from using AI to eliminate jobs to extract greater profits.'"
Hilarious post on Slashdot to this call of action:
"I have been complaining for 30 years that game companies have used AI to drive the decisions of dishonestly named "non-player characters" instead of employing real human beings to play against the people buying their games. Billions of jobs have been lost over the decades!"
He has a good point. I mean, I remember back in the day playing games 'against the machine', as opposed to an employee of the game company, and as a consequence that was one less person they had to keep on the payroll.

@mr_penguin AI isn't going to replace game artists anytime soon (or maybe ever if the AI model collapse happens). Right now, it's only good at generating backgrounds and icons. It's absolutely terrible at generating sprites, especially spritesheets.
