AI and thus AI slop is seemingly an unstoppable force and it's already having an impact on major game engines.  In this video we discuss how AI is having negative effects on two very different game engines (Unity and Godot if the thumb didn't make it obvious enough) for two VERY different reasons.

AI-generated code contributions are overwhelming Godot's open-source maintainers with low-quality pull requests, draining their capacity and morale. Meanwhile, Unity's CEO is making bold AI announcements—promising to generate full casual games from natural language prompts—largely to prop up a stock that dropped from $43 to $18 after Google's Genie 3 demo spooked investors. The author argues Unity's announced AI features already exist in the engine, the announcements are stock-market theater, and that Genie 3 is an impressive interactive video system but not a real game engine. The broader point: AI is disrupting game engines from two opposite directions—flooding open-source projects with slop contributions while pushing public companies into AI hype cycles.

The Slop Apocalypse: How AI is Breaking Game Engines

someone please teach investors how AI work.

CEOs of big organizations these days seem to be so out of touch it’s comical.
Looks like they feel they must follow the craziest trends because “everyone” is doing it.
