The co-creator of Quake doesn't see anything wrong with AI being used to create a level for his iconic shooter.

Carmack then came to the defense of the demo. He went on to argue that “AI tools will allow the best to reach even greater heights, while enabling smaller teams to accomplish more, and bring in some completely new creator demographics. Yes, we will get to a world where you can get an interactive game (or novel, or movie) out of a prompt, but there will be far better exemplars of the medium still created by dedicated teams of passionate developers. The world will be vastly wealthier in terms of the content available at any given cost.”

Carmack acknowledged that AI may lead to fewer jobs for game developers before suggesting “it could go the way of farming, where labor-saving technology allow a tiny fraction of the previous workforce to satisfy everyone.” He went to address anti-AI sentiment by stating that " ‘don’t use power tools because they take people’s jobs’ is not a winning strategy."

Microsoft put up the demo, buy I haven’t tried it (not available on mobile). https://copilot.microsoft.com/wham?features=labs-wham-enabled . The article mentions it is a bit limited though.

It’s not a game, but a very laggy fps camera ornated with Quake II textures. That’s actually what’s in it. There are far greater example if someone wants to make good example with AI; but I think Carmack found himself trapped to speak about this because it relate his job on different angles.

I knew he was an American-style libertarian (understable considering his lack of experience and sheltered life in the US), but I don’t know he was into partaking in ShitCons run by local chauvinists.

Of course he did. Doesn’t he lead the AI charge from within Meta?
