Microsoft wading deeper into generative artificial intelligence to play with MuseThe novel AI model has been announced today. A model that has been trained in a multiplayer game Ninja Theory The edge of bleedingMicrosoft says that it can aid developers of Xbox games, says Microsoft. Muse can understand the physics and 3D environment in the game and generate visualizations and reactions to player movements.
Among the various cases of operate for Muse, which Microsoft presents in his announcement, perhaps the most intriguing is the behavior of the game. The company claims that Muse AI can study games from the extensive catalog of classic titles and optimize them for current equipment.
Fatima Kardar, Vice President of Microsoft for Games AI wrote In the company’s press release: “Imaging that beloved games lost with time and hardware promotion could one day be played on any screen with Xbox, is an exciting possibility for us.”
The company claims that it will continue to discover generative artificial intelligence, including helping teams playing their projects. In its announcement, Microsoft claims that the Xbox team conducted an interview with 27 game creators around the world “to make sure that the research was shaped by people who would use it.”
Reaction of programmers and a larger community onlineHowever, he was rapid and Muse was poorly received. As a long -time programmer and founder of the Development Studio The Outsiders, David Goldfarb He said in response To the message: “Fuck this shit.”
While management is still more interested in generative artificial intelligence, technology becomes less popular among people who actually create games. In the direct message of Goldfarb says that he does not think that generative artificial intelligence is good for video games: “Because the people who promote it, do it to reduce investment expenditure and whether they intend to do it or not, effectively deprive the rights of income and devaluate millions of collective years of aesthetic efforts of developers and artists. “
“The main problem is that they lose craft,” says Goldfarb. “When we rely on these things, by default we strengthen the class of people who owners of these tools and do not fuck how they transform our lives.”
The wired investigation showed that artificial intelligence pushes employees out of work on creating video games at the same time when the game industry undergoes a huge narrowing. Over the past few years, thousands of programmers have been released This trend continues In 2025, while some programmers believe that artificial intelligence cannot replace creativity in games, others are still concerned about the safety of work in the industry, which turns novel tools that result from the need for their skills.
“This is a classic Xbox Bleeding Talent number, but also invested in Genai so much that they do not see a forest for trees,” said developer AAA, who asked for anonymity because they are not allowed to speak publicly about Muse. “They don’t see that nobody wants it. They don’t care that nobody will want it … Internal discussions about this kind of things are quiet, because everyone is afraid that they are against and lose their jobs because of turbulent time in our industry. “
