NieR's Yoko Taro: AI will make all game creators unemployed in 50 years
Published April 30th, 2025 - 10:57 GMT
ALBAWABA - Japanese director Yoko Taro, best known for working on titles such as NieR: Automata, sparked widespread concern on social media after predicting that AI (artificial intelligence) will cause game developers to lose their jobs.
In an interview with Famitsu, Yoko Taro and other famous Japanese game directors, such as Kotaro Uchikoshi, were asked about the future of adventure games. Both Taro and Uchikoshi raised AI as a subject of concern, as reported by IGN.
While Uchikoshi still expressed his interest in creating new games, he feared AI-generated games would become more mainstream. Additionally, the director added that AI still struggles with "brilliant writing" and lacks creativity, which humans still excel at.
On the contrary, NieR's Yoko Taro predicted that AI might take over game creators' jobs in 50 years.
ＡＩ予想。補足すると、・ＡＩで一般の人が全員クリエイターになる。・クリエイターでは食えなくなる。・でも作りたい人は食えなくても作る。
という感じなんだけど、僕の未来予想はほとんど外れるので気にしないでいいです。 https://t.co/Ty6RgAk0ix — yokotaro (@yokotaro) April 30, 2025
In a new post on Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter), Taro responded to IGN's post about him claiming that AI will "turn ordinary people to creators" and that it will not be possible to make a living as a creator in the future.
Moreover, he did add that all these predictions should be taken with a grain of salt since they "are almost always wrong so don't worry about it."
Many artists already fear AI taking over their jobs across various art forms such as drawing, music, voice acting, and many more professions. Several also take to social media daily to protest against the creation of AI-generated content.
ChatGPT recently sparked outrage after one of its users generated himself alongside his family in Hayao Miyazaki's iconic studio Ghibli art style. Many artists called the trend "disrespectful" to Miyazaki's career as a beloved artist and director.

Kim Kardashian 's embarrassing conversation with ChatGPT is going viral
ALBAWABA - Kim Kardashian 's ChatGPT chat sparks backlash and confusion across social media. Kim Kardashian shared a snapshot of her ChatGPT discussion on her Instagram story on Wednesday, to which many have responded negatively. For those who are unaware, ChatGPT is an app that allows users to communicate with an AI-generated chatbot. As a result, the chatbot is essentially a robot that learns how each user wishes to connect with it through artificial intelligence and modifies its style accordingly. This explains why Kim's screenshot, which showed that she talks to the chatbot like a human, left so many people perplexed. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 19: Kim Kardashian (Photo by Emma McIntyre / Getty Images via AFP) Sadly for us, Kim only shared what seems to be the conclusion of her interaction with ChatGPT. Kim's first message in the grab reads, "Thanks for taking accountability." It's huge in my opinion. "Thank you so much for saying that," the chatbot answered. It means a lot, particularly from someone who obviously values precision and thoroughness. 'I'll keep raising my game to meet your standards,' the bot went on. 'If there's ever any doubt or if you want a deeper dive on anything, I'm here for it.' 'Thanks dude,' Kim wrote back, to which ChatGPT said: 'Anytime — you got it, dude😎 Let's crush the next one.' Kim posted the grab without further comment, but did add the '🥹' emoji, suggesting that she was genuinely touched by this exchange. Kim Kardashian Instagram story However, the online community did not share this feeling, and the screen grab swiftly gained popularity on X as users expressed their perplexed responses to the discussion. One user commented on Kim's initial statement in the chat: "……. this is the dumbest thing I've ever fucking seen? How did a language program assume responsibility? 'What does a robot have to take accountability for?' one mor asked. 'What's with people and developing an emotional connection with ChatGPT? Do they not realize that it's fucking weird?' somebody else tweeted, with another echoing, 'Is she really this lonely?' 'Was she arguing with a fucking robot?' Someone else asked, while another well-liked remark highlighted the severe harm that artificial intelligence in all its forms brings to the environment, saying, "The Earth's temperature just increased by one degree because of this." Another X user simply concluded, 'Having convos with ChatGPT or AI in general is so embarrassing.' In fact, Kim's remark was made just one day after Time published an article about a recent study conducted by MIT Media Lab researchers that suggested ChatGPT might be "eroding critical thinking skills." An illustration photograph taken on February 20, 2025 shows ChatGPT app (Photo by Justin TALLIS / AFP) 54 participants, ages 18 to 39, were divided into three groups for the study, and they were instructed to compose several SAT essays using ChatGPT, Google, or neither. After measuring the writers' brain activity with EEG, they found that ChatGPT users did worse in terms of brain function, language skills, and behavior, showing the least brain activity compared to the other two groups. Over the course of several months, the study discovered that ChatGPT users became lazy with each essay, and by the end, many had resorted to copying and pasting.
