Epic Games has reportedly delayed a shooter based on Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars franchises, with its developers told to use more AI. According to Bloomberg, the yet-to-be-named game was supposed to be released in March of 2027, but its launch date has been pushed back to an unspecified date. Aside from that, the company also told the people working on the project to switch to an "AI first" production model. One of the game directors was quoted telling staff that there will be “no more handwritten code” and that the game’s art would now be "generated with full AI workflows."

    The point is that they don't pop just deflate and that happens all the time.

    Except consumer demand for AI is fucking low, and professional demand for ai far outweighs the spend for AI. Meaning the infrastructure bill is going to come due and the amount of revenue coming in will not be able to support that.

    This doesn't even get into the fact that a sizeable chunk of the AI revenue is just the Enron scheme happening again.
