With all the new things that AI is bringing to our daily lives in video game development, we have to ask ourselves what role AI should play in creativity. Is it just an element that we should leave to the human condition? Can we be helped or inspired by AI?
AI as a creative tool
We have to think of AI not as an absolute and total replacement for the human condition, but rather we have to see it as another tool that can help us.
- Generating ideas.
- Automating repetitive tasks.
- Personalizing experiences.
AI as a source of inspiration
AI can serve as a source of inspiration, and as a bank of ideas. Also to be able to iterate and quickly evolve our ideas in record time.
Challenges and considerations
Despite its potential, AI also poses challenges:
- Lack of originality.
- Biases.
- Dependence on AI.
The future of AI and creativity
As we have discussed, we believe that the future is learning to use AI to our advantage, helping us in many aspects, and enhancing our creativity, as long as we are not blinded by AI
To take full advantage of the potential of AI, it is important to:
- Understand the limitations of AI: AI is a powerful tool, but it cannot replace human intuition and experience.
- Encourage collaboration: Development teams must work together to find ways to complement the skills of humans and AI.
- Establish ethical values: It is essential to establish clear ethical values to ensure that AI is used responsibly and beneficially.
We have to see AI as an ally, a powerful and fast ally, and not as an enemy that will replace us.
