If a game was 80% made by AI it would be literally unplayable.
Maybe the reality is that 80-90% of their programmers actively use tools like Github Copilot and the CEO got really excited about what that might mean. I mean, how could he possibly measure this?
The figures that fortune 500 companies give for how much of their new code is AI generated are also wildly exaggerated, likely for similar reasons. It makes investors fork over cash for the near term. They'll all lean on plausible deniability when it all becomes obviously untrue.
Idk... 80-90% of a game isn't the code that is doing all the real work of making it a game. Most of a game is art, music, sound, etc. Things easily made by AI that would not affect the playability of the game. That's why credits for games are hundreds to thousands of people who worked on art-central parts of the game, and the programming team is like 3 dudes. Big companies would like to have just the 3 dudes. Especially since they understand code and can serve as IT for the AI art "team."
If you look at his quote, he's literally saying that 80-90% of the game code is being written by AI.
