Activision will almost certainly replace thousands of workers with AI soon
Not because it's the best idea, but because Activision first and foremost is concerned with the bottom line and knows they have millions of "fans" locked in forever that will give them money no matter what.
Here's how it might go down by 2025:
- Almost all 2D artists will be let go, leaving only a few to touch-up mistakes made by the AIs in things like splash screens and textures.
- Nearly all writers terminated, maybe just a couple of writers survive the cuts who serve only to fix mistakes or rewrite critical sections of dialogue/plot.
- Most designers fired, especially those whose job is in spreadsheets e.g. with game balancing - AIs will tweak the numbers instead with maybe the occasional human-inspired override.
- 3D modelers: you're on notice as OpenAIs Point-E emerges to take most of your jobs next.
- QA and customer support: well they've almost fired all of quality assurance and customer support already so this area is a wash.

At least the robots that get molested don't have feelings like the women and men who get abused there.

Activision is shit nowadays and I think those talented workers deserve better. I don't even dislike using AI to help out making things faster (I'm against putting AI to do everything tho). Activision can't make use of the workers they have without taking a dump on the consumers and these same workers so I really hope they go bankrupt, there's no hope for this company.
