    You don’t let AI check your work

    From a game dev perspective, user Q&A QA is often annoying and repetitive labor. Endlessly criss-crossing terran hitting different buttons to make sure you don’t snag a corner or click objects in a sequence that triggers a state freeze. Hooking a PS controller to Roomba logic and having a digital tool rapidly rerun routes and explore button combos over and over, looking for failed states, is significantly better for you than hoping an overworked team of dummy players can recreate the failed state by tripping into it manually.

      There’s plenty of room for sophisticated automation without any need to involve AI.

        I mean, as a branding exercise, every form of sophisticated automation is getting the “AI” label.

        Past that, advanced pathing algorithms are what Q&A systems need to validate all possible actions within a space. That’s the bread-and-butter of AI. Its also generally how you’d describe simulated end-users on a test system.

        If it does the job better, who the fuck cares. No one actually cares about how you feel about the tech. Cry me a river.

          The problem is that if it doesn’t do a better job, no one left in charge will even know enough to give a shit, so quality will go down.
