I attended theGame Developers Conferencein San Francisco last month, and AI was the unfortunate air we breathed while walking the Moscone Center show floor. Nvidia was laser-focused on the tech, andArk: Survival Evolved’s Aquatica expansiongot an AI-generated trailer that no one wants to take credit for.

Everyone is fighting for the sanctity of creating art, until Darth Vader turns around and shouts “skibidi toilet” before bagging a Victory Royale withHatsune Miku. Last week saw Epic Games add an AI version of the iconic Star Wars villain toFortnite, which responds in real time to any and all (or at least, most) vocal queries thrown at him. Over the weekend, I saw people try to explain to Darth Vader what furries are, teach him how to speak in generic brainrot phrases, and obviously get him to swear and say slurs, despite the restrictions placed on the AI model by Epic Games....
