Xbox Pushes Ahead With Muse, a New Generative AI Model. Devs Say ‘Nobody Will Want This’
One developer responds to the release of Muse: “We are implicitly empowering a class of people who own these tools and don’t give a fuck about how they reshape our lives.”
“It’s the classic issue of Xbox bleeding talent but also so heavily invested in GenAI that they can’t see the forest for the trees,” said a AAA developer who asked to remain anonymous because they are not allowed to talk publicly about Muse. The prototyping stage, when a developer creates iterative, bare-bones versions of their game in order to work through their ideas and craft a final vision, is one area where AI proponents—including Microsoft—argue computer-generated playable models will prove helpful. In the Muse announcement, Kardar writes: “We believe it’s important to shape how these new generative AI breakthroughs can support our industry and game creation community in a collaborative and responsible way.” When it comes to convincing developers, Microsoft still has work to do.
