AI Couldn’t Have Made Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s Biddy Blas
Epic's upcoming Star Wars shooter is reportedly developed with an "AI first" production model, which means it'll never have its own Biddy Blas, Galactic Racer's breakout Weird Little Guy.
In the opinion piece by Mat Jones from IGN, the author argues that an AI could not have produced the breakout character Biddy Blas from Star Wars: Galactic Racer. Despite the push for AI-first production models in the industry, Jones believes that the character's unique appeal lies in the creative decisions made by humans behind it.
He highlights the absurd voice of Biddy Blas, which cannot be replicated by AI, and emphasizes the importance of the actor's performance in bringing the character to life. Jones argues that AI may be able to generate scripts and polygons, but it lacks the ability to understand the nuances of human performance and make original creative decisions.
The author cites examples of other successful characters like Rat King and Solomon from the game Deadlock, which showcase the importance of human input in creating engaging and memorable gaming experiences. Overall, Jones concludes that while AI may have a role to play in the video game industry, it cannot replicate the creativity and passion of human creators, and thus Biddy Blas could not have been made by AI.
