A PC Gamer author questioned Google's claim that AI is ushering in a "new golden age" for gaming, prompted by an AI-generated image accompanying the Google article that he found unconvincing. Google made this assertion in an article discussing artificial intelligence and gaming.
The image depicts a group of people gathered around a golden controller. The author pointed out obvious abnormalities in the characters' faces; he argued that while the image attempts to create a grand promotional effect, its quality fails to support such claims. His skepticism was directed at Google's presentation style, not an data-driven assessment of AI's effectiveness across the entire gaming industry.
A more recent Google post also referenced the aforementioned article and introduced a project involving writer Neal Stephenson and designer Karen Laur. The project attempts to use AI to bring Jane Austen elements into Fortnite. A PC Gamer author responded to this combination with sarcasm, expressing skepticism about its appeal.
