Masahiro Sakurai, after a break from directing, is back developing Kirby Air Riders for Switch 2. However, he faced criticism for comments on AI in game development, misinterpreted through machine translation. The misrepresentation suggested he supported generative AI as a solution to issues in game development, but fluent speakers clarified that his comments were more ambiguous. This incident highlights the challenges of relying on translation tools in a global media landscape, where nuanced discussions can be lost, impacting public perception of industry leaders like Sakurai.
Super Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai says large scale game development is becoming too time consuming and unsustainable. He believes Generative AI is an option to improve work efficiency.
It doesn't at all come across as a full-throated endorsement so much as him shrugging his arms and saying he can't think of much better.
