Masahiro Sakurai says he does not use generative AI at all, not even for brainstorming ideas!
He says for graphics, gen AI “still hasn’t earned the trust” of developers and that “it must not be turned into a means of exploitation.” And argues it is still much quicker for developers to create everything by themselves instead of relying on AI.
On the other hand, he says making games has become “far too demanding”. Pointing out that Kirby Air Riders took 10x more workload than Kirby’s Air Ride. He says that recently many studios are still operating at a loss despite selling millions of copies. So also worries that not using AI could leave them falling further and further behind.
