Gracias por pasar, version en español abajo https://static0.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/gta-6-tga.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop --- I sat down for a while to think after reading some rather polarizing opinions regarding artificial intelligence and everything we’ve been experiencing these past few days. I have a couple of points I’d like to address—particularly concerning video games—having seen statements from top executives who know more than anyone else about the subject at hand. The idea that AI will create games entirely on its own sounds great on Twitter, but in practice, it’s quite foolish—or at the very least, far too simplistic—because the reality is much more complex. --- https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/0*JsRz2Sgog81QFzX8.jpg --- Strauss Zelnick, the head of Take-Two Interactive, made this abundantly clear when he essentially stated that an AI could never create something like *Grand Theft Auto VI* on its own. This isn't because he’s a "hater" of technology, but rather because he understands how major video games are actually made—and everything that goes on behind the scenes. It involves more than just code or pretty graphics; it’s a blend of creativity, direction, human decision-making, and a tremendous amount of coordinated effort. --- https://i.extremetech.com/imagery/content-types/05lV414CCgIFTIVeaAc6HWH/hero-image.fit_lim.v1678673303.jpg --- People seem to harbor the notion that AI is like a genie—that you can simply ask it, "Make me a GTA," and it will spit one out, fully finished. But it doesn't work that way. What AI actually does is take existing information and recombine it; in other words, it improves upon what already exists, but it doesn't invent something truly novel out of its own volition. In an industry like video games, that distinction carries immense weight—because the games that truly leave a mark aren't merely the ones that function correctly, but the ones that possess soul, identity, memorable moments, and a clear vision. Behind the Scenes --- https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/675f38976274bb2536314501/0x0.jpg?format=jpg&height=900&width=1600&fit=bounds --- In fact, Zelnick himself compared this to AI-generated music: it might sound good at first, but it rarely leaves you with anything lasting—it doesn't connect; it doesn't stick with you. The same applies to games. You can have something playable—even technically impressive—but without direction, without intent, without that human touch, it feels hollow—like a pretty shell. Now, we shouldn't go to the other extreme and claim that AI is useless, because it *is* useful—extremely so. The thing is, its role is different; it isn't to replace development studios, but rather to make them faster and more efficient. --- https://www.rockstargames.com/VI/_next/static/media/Jason_Duval_01.6e287338.jpg --- It is already being used to create basic assets, run automated tests, generate preliminary animations, or assist in processes that previously took weeks. *That* is how it changes the industry—from the inside out—rather than from the fanciful perspective that "AI will do everything on its own." Making a game like *GTA* isn't just about stitching systems together; it’s about building a cohesive world, creating characters with personality, crafting a narrative with rhythm, weaving in social satire, and filling every corner with intricate details. That requires human judgment, decision-making, and experience—qualities that AI, today, doesn't even come close to possessing. --- https://static0.polygonimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/jason_lucia_gta6.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop --- Ultimately, the real future isn't "humans vs. AI"; it's "humans *using* AI." Those who grasp this concept will have a distinct advantage, as they will be able to create faster and better. However, there will always need to be a human mind behind the wheel—someone who truly knows what they are doing. So, no: AI isn't here to take developers' jobs; it's here to transform *how* they work. And if you're expecting it to churn out the next *GTA* all by itself... By simply writing a prompt, what you're really doing is buying into the hype without understanding how the industry actually works.

https://static0.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/gta-6-tga.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop --- Me senté un rato apensar despues de leer opiniones bastante polarizantes sobre la inteligencia artificial y todo lo que estamos viviendo estos ultimos dias, tengo un par de puntos que tratar en especial en el tema de los videojuegos viendo algunas declaraciones de altos directivos que saben mas que nadie de lo que se habla Pensar que la IA va a crear juegos por sí sola suena bien en Twitter pero en la práctica es bastante tonto o al menos demasiado simplista porque la realidad es mucho más compleja --- https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/0*JsRz2Sgog81QFzX8.jpg --- y eso lo dejó claro Strauss Zelnick el jefe de Take-Two Interactive cuando básicamente dijo que una IA jamás podría hacer algo como Grand Theft Auto VI por su cuenta y no es por ser hater de la tecnología sino porque entiende cómo se hacen realmente los videojuegos grandes y todo lo que hay detrás que no es solo código ni gráficos bonitos sino una mezcla de creatividad dirección decisiones humanas y muchísimo trabajo coordinado --- https://i.extremetech.com/imagery/content-types/05lV414CCgIFTIVeaAc6HWH/hero-image.fit_lim.v1678673303.jpg --- la gente tiene la idea de que la IA es como un genio que tú le pides “hazme un GTA” y te lo escupe listo pero no funciona así lo que hace la IA es agarrar información previa y recombinarla o sea mejora lo que ya existe pero no inventa algo realmente nuevo con intención propia y eso en una industria como los videojuegos pesa muchísimo porque los juegos que marcan no son los que funcionan sino los que tienen alma identidad momentos memorables y una visión clara detrás --- https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/675f38976274bb2536314501/0x0.jpg?format=jpg&height=900&width=1600&fit=bounds --- de hecho el propio Zelnick comparó esto con la música generada por IA que puede sonar bien al principio pero rara vez te deja algo no conecta no se queda contigo y con los juegos pasa igual puedes tener algo jugable incluso impresionante técnicamente pero sin dirección sin intención sin ese toque humano se siente vacío como un cascarón bonito ahora tampoco hay que irse al otro extremo de decir que la IA no sirve porque sí sirve y mucho lo que pasa es que su rol es otro no es reemplazar a los estudios sino hacerlos más rápidos y eficientes --- https://www.rockstargames.com/VI/_next/static/media/Jason_Duval_01.6e287338.jpg --- ya se está usando para crear assets básicos hacer pruebas automatizadas generar animaciones preliminares o ayudar en procesos que antes tomaban semanas eso sí cambia la industria pero desde adentro no desde el lado fantasioso de “la IA hará todo sola” hacer un juego como GTA no es solo juntar sistemas es construir un mundo con coherencia personajes con personalidad narrativa con ritmo sátira social detalles en cada esquina y eso requiere criterio decisiones y experiencia humana cosas que una IA hoy no tiene ni cerca --- https://static0.polygonimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/jason_lucia_gta6.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop --- al final el futuro real no es humanos vs IA es humanos usando IA el que entienda eso va a tener ventaja porque va a poder crear más rápido y mejor pero siempre va a necesitar una cabeza detrás que sepa qué está haciendo así que no la IA no viene a quitarle el trabajo a los desarrolladores viene a cambiar cómo trabajan y si tú esperas que saque el próximo GTA solo con escribir un prompt lo que estás es comprando hype sin entender cómo funciona realmente la industria
