"It's... like when we fed cows with cows and got mad cow disease."
Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser has lashed out against AI, saying that executives who are pushing it to consumers “aren’t fully-rounded humans”.
Speaking with Virgin Radio UK, Houser was blunt regarding his feelings towards AI.
“I personally don’t think it will [help us prosper], because I think that AI is gonna eventually eat itself, because as far as I understand it—which is really superficial—the models scour the internet for information, but the internet’s going to get more and more full of information made by the models,” Houser said. “So it’s sort of like when we fed cows with cows and got mad cow disease.”
While Houser admitted that some genAI models “will do some tasks brilliantly, but… not… every task brilliantly,” he also provided his thoughts on tech giants like Microsoft pushing AI into practically everything.
“Humanity is being pulled in a direction by a certain group of people, who maybe aren’t fully-rounded humans,” Houser said. “Some of these people trying to define the future of humanity, creativity, or whatever it is using AI, are not the most humane or creative people. So they’re sort of saying, ‘We’re better at being human than you are.’ It’s obviously not true.”
