There is no sugarcoating it: this is a mandate from investors, and it's objectively garbage here.
The "gameshow" that he mentions in the video? That sounds like a great use-case for AI. Canned responses, hedged in by a set of narrow parameters for tone and censorship, saves you the trouble of paying a voice actor to record 10,000 redundant lines of "Wow! Nice job!".
But hooking the fans of Warcraft and Starcraft with the promise of a true AAA RTS campaign with story, writing, and voice acting, only to blatantly try and fill it with AI sawdust filler? It's a slap in the face. I honestly want my money back.
Money is the problem, of course. Some investor somewhere wants to make another money printing machine and thinks AI will let them do it here. It's not going to work.
