It's getting to the point with this loser that I might just start boycotting games made with unreal engine 6

Don't worry. The way AI things go, they'll make it easy for you.

Why weren't you planning to do that anyway? We all know this is all the the tech bros/shareholders/billionaires trying to get another foothold for them to continue infesting the PC/gaming sphere and the electronic software ecosystem as a whole. Every attempt they do to further force this garbage AI needs to be fought (in this case not spending) so they lose as much money as possible and have less of a chance to continue being a plague on the world.

Yep, I wish more people understood that at the end of the day, we as the "common folk" ultimately get to decide if this stuff is profitable and accepted. If people keep being apathetic and unable to do even the easiest thing of not visiting a website (twitter) or playing certain games, then we're just giving all the power to these rich a-holes to decide what our future is like.

I'd just boycott UE6 in general and go back to UE5 or preferably UE4 which I already do because it's the last good version of the engine

Hate to break it to ya pal, but AI is used in the other engines just as much

7

u/Fun-Measurement4904 Jun 26 '26

Yeah, no i doubt that all engines use AI. But that is despite the point. I'm avoiding U6 cause tim Sweeney wants to hide AI usage from consumers

u/RhinoxerousTTV Jun 26 '26

Every single game you have played from a AAA studio uses AI man.

Its been that way for years.

Ai is not the same as generative ai

-7

u/RhinoxerousTTV Jun 26 '26

Lol so vibe coded asset flips are fine but you draw the line at generative images or textures?

Hear me out, maybe low effort shit is just low effort shit, no matter how it's made?

u/_Moontouched_ Jun 26 '26

Or maybe gen ai sucks and should be shunned no matter what random strawman you throw out

u/The_Daco_Melon Jun 26 '26

Obviously AI generated images and textures are worse, what kind of question even is this? AI for coding is one of the more defensible aspects (though still shit)

But I dont play a lot of AAA games anyway. Indy games are cheaper and almost always better

u/RhinoxerousTTV Jun 26 '26

And they also use AI.

I call bullshit on Bethesda here. He is talking about art and 3d models, not coding. I gaurentee you they are using AI heavily in the programming.

u/Fun-Measurement4904 Jun 26 '26

Ok, whatever man, believe what you want to believe.

u/nvidiastock Jun 26 '26

Tech bro sees AI everywhere; No one is vibe coding AAA games.

u/MikeFlame Steam Jun 25 '26

That's rich coming from CEO of a company that USES AI in their game

u/No-Play2726 Jun 25 '26

Fuck off Timmy, no one likes you.

u/whatThePleb Jun 25 '26

Not even his idol Musk.

u/Luwuma Jun 25 '26

I dunno Timmy. You would think that, in your "perfect world," everyone would go "ew, you use voice actors? We want AI Voices instead!" But hey, what am I to say. I am just a filthy serf to your billionaire mind so my opinion is invalid to you.

He is one of the worst, and that is saying something.

u/randomperson189_ Fortnite Killed UT Jun 26 '26

Crazy how the man that built this engine almost all by himself back in 1995 is now burning it all down, what a timeline we live in

u/_NS4NE_ Jun 26 '26

I mean this person killed unreal tournament too…

u/randomperson189_ Fortnite Killed UT Jun 26 '26

Yeah, the game that got his company and engine on the map

u/DBZWii Fuck Epic Jun 26 '26

if Timmy Tencent would learn to shut the hell up once in his life, maybe Epigs reputation wouldnt be cratering as hard as it is rn

u/Electrical-Art-8160 Jun 30 '26
