Nintendo says it will not use generative-AI, preferring to create stuff that is "unique to" them and to avoid copyrighted material used by gen-AI: gameworldobserver.com/2024/07/03/n...

I mean, if even they started used it on their games, I think we could consider all hope lost. I wouldn't be too surprised to see them using it on promotional material, though, specially outside of Japan.

one of the good things about nintendo is that they dont jump at every industry trend that becomes popular. good to see this

The one gaming corporation with half a brain cell on this issue

Nintendo have pulled so much BS that my kneejerk reaction is "what's the REAL reason"? If that's it, good. Nintendo still suck in many other ways and I say it's fair to bring them up every time. E.g. Nintendo Online sucks and it's ridiculous there's a premium pack.

One W for Nintendo, pretty neat

Great. Now stop killing preservation efforts and let people emulate old games

way to go, nintendo

How do they measure uniqueness? How can they tell it's unique? Do they start with people who have been isolated from the rest of the world their entire lives?

Not using AI is an actually sustainable business practice and they will make easy money from being litigious over clearly infringing generative works. Literal fish in a barrel type teas.
