It is naive to think that their end-goal is to make models that play computer games. The reason they build models like this is because playing 3D computer games is the closest digital proxy for operating a robot or similar in the real world.
I also don't see how this "kills the joy" of playing computer games. You can still play games while this exists, nobody is going to stop you.
Yeah, maybe read my first line. I said they are trying to make the humans irrelevant, and in the process also kill the joy of playing computer games. And nobody is stopping me from playing the computer games, just like I can write my e-mails without being bugged and begged to let the AI write it for me, because, WTF should I process my own thoughts and write my own e-mails, right?
I have no doubt that the oligpolists in charge of our tech landscape will at some point "infuse" this shit into the games or whatever the shitterm they use for coupling the text generators with perfectly fine and deterministic software in order to raise their DAU/MAU/WAU numbers and in the process make the outcomes of using the software less reliable, non-deterministic and absolutely frustrating.
