Can we just stop trying squeeze AI into every god damn thing yet?

It has its uses, but its a tool, not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent - and if you try to make it be, you'll just get hot garbage out.

    I want them to do this, produce some absolute slop that nobody plays or wants, lose a colossal sum of money, and forever be an example of what not to do.

    Elon kind of already did that with X and unfortunately it hasn't taught him anything.

    He stands to gain more through his political influence than he has lost with Twitter, and the latter arguably helped him get the former. By itself, his acquisition of Twitter is and will remain a loss; in the grand scheme of things, though, it was a sort of investment that is likely to pay off handsomely. If he's learnt anything, it's that the United States have devolved into a plutocracy that capital can steer off the common interest of their citizens and the common good.

    Thing is, he has a big enough bankroll to just keep throwing shit at the wall until something sticks. 100Mil for a triple-A game is effectively pocket change when you're worth a couple hundred billion. He'll keep trying until he gets bored or stumbles onto the next Fortnite out of sheer luck.
