xAI so far only offers the Grok artificial intelligence (AI) service that can generate stories and also produce images. A feature that can be said to be unique when compared to Gemini, and ChatGPT. Yesterday Elon Musk revealed that xAI will also open a video game studio using AI.
According to Musk, this is to bring back all the glory days of video games. xAI will be the second company after Netflix to open a video game studio using AI. The use of AI in video games is a sensitive issue that is a debate among industry players.
This year, thousands of workers have been laid off by studios and the use of AI is seen as causing more and more people to lose their livelihoods. Original actors and video game voice actors under SAG-AFTRA have already gone on strike to demand that their rights be preserved and not taken over by AI.
So far, there is still no AAA video game that has been developed entirely using AI. The few demos produced before are just original games for mobile phones. But with xAI receiving billions of dollars in funding and among the owners of the world's largest AI computer cluster, many will surely want to see if Elon's investment can produce AAA video games as good as those produced entirely by humans.
