A scene from the far end of room sporting three pillars colored blue, green, and red. The pillars each hold a crystal that's shooting a beam of light to draw video signal. On the video signal is a white and red checkerboard ball sitting on a pink grid floor.

A screenshot of a PICO-8 sprite drawing tool that showcases a low resolution video mode that lets you have 32 colors at once instead of 16. On the right side there's a color palette featuring the main 16 colors as well as the extra 16 "secret" colors. There's a frame where a tiny flower sprite is drawn inside.

The cover art for the video game Evil Egg, featuring a lens the Egg floating in space alongside stars and the large striking title letters. At the bottom is a label showing how the long the game has been played, which reads "100.2 hours."

Jorjani explained that he thinks the ARC Raiders example – where actors had their voices turned into AI versions, opening up the potential for them to say extra things beyond what was recorded in the studio, for future updates for example – could be a good thing as long as it’s handled well.

“My thing with ARC Raiders is I think it’s a very interesting use case that actually makes gaming better,” he explained. “Now, let’s figure out the right side of it. I don’t do voice in games because I’m Swedish, communicating directly with people I don’t know is scary, I don’t want to put my voice out there with my accent or whatever it is.

“I think this allows more people to connect with each other, which is ultimately a good gaming thing. Let’s just make sure that people are paid for their work. Like, surely there’s a middle ground here, come on.”

As the discussion continued and looked at the difference between AI tools that replace creativity versus AI tools that increase efficiency – the example given was the use of AI to transcribe content versus being used to actually write it – Jorjani said this distinction needed to be addressed more.
