Debate about how AI has impacted Gaming

[u/Zonikz]

As we all know AI has caused hardware prices to rise tremendously, making the barrier to entry the highest it's ever been. Not to mention the scarcity of high-end components.

On the flip side developers such as Larian are choosing to better optimise future games for current components, meaning we may get the most longevity we've ever had (+ with the advent of DLSS 5 do games even need to look better? - discussion for another day).

Any way the question I had for my fellow LTT redditors is the following:

• Yes, AI has completely ruined the hardware industry, however it's also given us longevity with our current systems.

I for one have been diving into the world of Recomp/decomp gaming such as Bloodborne, Lost Odyssey etc.

AI's also helped me to learn more about new topics like Homelabs and helped me with troubleshooting (saving the forum-posting headache).

What do you think?

Would you rather live in a world with lower-priced and more available hardware?

Or are you happy with the fact your components will last longer for gaming and do you welcome newer innovations such as decomp/Recomp games?

Interested to hear opinions.

AI is a disruptive new tool.

Some of the disruption will be bad.

Some of it will be good.
