[天尊] 博德3總監稱SE用AI取代人工品保"愚蠢"

Baldur's Gate 3 Publishing Director Pushes Back At Square Enix's AI QA Plans https://www.gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-publishing-director-pushes- back-at-square-enixs-ai-qa-plans/1100-6536059/ Earlier this week, Square Enix disclosed its ambition to drastically cut its Quality Assurance employees and use generative AI to handle 70% of its game QA and debugging. The company went on to note that it wants to "establish a competitive advantage in game development." However, Michael Douse--the publishing director of Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian--has called out Square Enix and described its plan as "stupid." 本週早些時候，Square Enix 公佈了其大幅削減品質保證員工、並利用生成式人工智慧處 理 70% 遊戲品質保證和調試工作的計劃。該公司還表示，希望「在遊戲開發領域建立競 爭優勢」。然而，《博德之門3》開發商 Larian 的發行總監 Michael Douse 卻公開批 評 Square Enix 的計劃，稱其「愚蠢至極」。 "So QA are some of the most video games engaged people in any company," Douse wrote on X. "They are integral to your community teams. To publishing. They give you the real feedback. They know what is good and what is bad before the audience does, and they are the most resilient department." Douse 在X上寫道：“QA 人員是任何公司裡對電子遊戲投入最多的人之一。他們是社區團 隊不可或缺的一部分，也是發行團隊不可或缺的一部分。他們能提供最真實的反饋。他們 比玩家更早知道什麼是好什麼是壞，而且他們也是最有韌性的部門。” "[The] idea that QA people can be replaced at a large scale is stupid because it supposes that the conversations with them can be replaced and they can't," added Douse. "They are a massively advantageous vibe check." 「認為品質保證人員可以被大規模替換的想法很愚蠢，因為它假設與他們的對話可以被替 換，而這是不可能的，」杜斯補充道。 “他們是極其有利的氛圍檢查工具。” Douse also noted that QA jobs have often been gateway positions for people looking to get into the video game industry. He cautions that losing QA workers risks missing out on future designers and other positions. Douse也指出，QA崗位通常是人們進入電玩產業的敲門磚。他警告說，QA人員的流失可能 會導致未來設計師和其他職位的人才流失。 In a subsequent post, Douse noted that Square Enix aims to save $19.6 million by outsourcing its QA to AI. He also questioned why executives weren't laid off if the company needs the savings so badly. 在隨後的貼文中，Douse指出Square Enix計劃透過將QA外包給AI來節省1,960萬美元。他 也質疑，如果公司如此迫切需要節省開支，為什麼不裁掉高階主管。 Reports have emerged that Square Enix is already conducting a massive employee layoff. Square Enix isn't the only video game company to embrace AI. Electronic Arts has reportedly instructed its employees to treat AI as "thought partners." A recent survey also found that over 50% of Japanese game publishers utilize AI in some way. Prominent game developers Hideo Kojima and Glen Schofield have both stated that AI tools should be embraced in game creation. 有報導稱，Square Enix 已經開始大規模裁員。 Square Enix 並非唯一一家擁抱人工智 慧的電子遊戲公司。據報道，藝電（Electronic Arts）已指示員工將人工智慧視為「思 考夥伴」。最近的一項調查也發現，超過 50% 的日本遊戲發行商以某種方式使用人工智 慧。知名遊戲開發者小島秀夫和格倫·斯科菲爾德都曾表示，遊戲開發中應該採用人工智 慧工具。 -- 今晚你選那一個姿勢?? ○ "○ ○" ○" (|\ (|\ )) )) ○╭○rz ○rz ○rz-st○ /`○rz /`○r27\" ○r27\" ￣′ ○=^
