<\/a>Dan Houser believes AI will eventually eat itself. Photo by Chelsea Guglielmino\/Getty Images.<\/p>\nEnter Dan Houser, who left Rockstar in 2020 to found Absurd Ventures having worked on pretty much all the studio\u2019s games up to that point. His new novel, A Better Paradise, is a story that revolves around AI, and so it stands to reason that he would be asked about the tech in a recent interview with Virgin Radio UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s fair to say Houser is sceptical about the future of AI.<\/p>\n \u201cSome of these people trying to define the future of humanity, creativity or whatever it is, using AI, are not the most humane or creative people,\u201d he said. \u201cSo they’re sort of saying we’re better at being human than you are. And it\u2019s obviously not true.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is one of the other things we’re trying to capture, that humanity is being pulled in a direction by a certain group of people who maybe aren’t fully rounded humans.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI think that AI is going to eventually eat itself. As far as I understand it, which is really superficial understanding, the models scour the internet for information, but the internet’s going to get more and more full of information made by the models. So it’s sort of like when we fed cows with cows and got mad cow disease.<\/p>\n \u201cI can’t see how the information is going to get better. They\u2019re already running out of data. It will do some tasks brilliantly but it’s not going to do every task brilliantly. It\u2019s going to become this sort of mirror of itself.<\/p>\n \u201cI’m slightly obsessed by the fact that when you search for the same thing again, it doesn’t give you the same answers. And it’s wrong a lot of the time, but it says it so confidently.\u201d<\/p>\n GTA 6 Vice City Screenshots Houser is talking here about what happens when AI models start training on their own output, which experts say puts them at risk of collapsing. The Large Language Models, or LLMs, that power the likes of ChatGPT are said to be cannibalizing themselves via Garbage In\/Garbage Out (GIGO). Or, as Houser puts it, \u201cit’s sort of like when we fed cows with cows and got mad cow disease.\u201d<\/p>\n The use of AI in entertainment is one of the hottest topics across video games, movies, and television. Last month, the CEO of Genvid \u2014 the company behind choose-your-own-adventure interactive series like Silent Hill Ascension<\/a> \u2014 claimed “consumers generally do not care” about generative AI in games, stating: “Gen Z loves AI slop.”<\/a><\/p>\n
