In general I can't say these spark confidence. She comes from an AI division, instantly fires a bunch of people,... And she also doesn't explicitly say they're not going to use AI. She says they're not going to flood the market with ai slop. (We're talking about microslop here after all) So they could still put a medium amount short of a flood out there. And how does she define slop from regular ai? To you and me it's all slop. But for a ceo they might define it as "oh right the six fingers, can't have that". Hey if it turns out she makes xbox a succes for everyone so much the better, but until then let's keep a little scepticism going. Gaming has always been about letting big tech know we're onto their season pass/dlc/... bs. This should be no diffirent. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] architect 1 point 2 months ago (1 child) Gaming has always been about letting big tech know?
