Last year, it <a href=\"https:\/\/80.lv\/articles\/sony-appoints-ai-as-its-partner-in-creativity-to-boost-positive-transformation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">appointed<\/a> AI &#8220;as a catalyst for positive transformation and a partner in creativity, based on the belief that AI should support people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sony thinks using generative AI is &#8220;a starting point for enhancing productivity, reforming work processes, and inspiring creativity,&#8221; so I don&#8217;t think Nostra Games and CGI Lab&#8217;s fault lies in AI-made titles. Or maybe it&#8217;s different when Sony uses it.<\/p>\n<p>My guess is that Sony decided to get rid of low-quality rip-offs that are so clearly made with no soul, chasing trends, so that they could simply harm PlayStation&#8217;s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/80.lv\/subscribe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">subscribe to our Newsletter<\/a>\u00a0and join our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/80.lv\/talent\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">80 Level Talent platform<\/a>, follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/80Level\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/80-lv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/LevelEightyNews\" rel=\"nofollow\">Telegram<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eighty_level\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Are you a fan of what we do here at 80 Level?
