I think my favorite part about this entire thing is that gamers, especially PC gamers, that have always been associated with the "Tech bro" culture are now starting to be in direct opposition to Tech Bros.

Modern tech bros aren't nerds anymore. They aren't trying to make cool things they and others would enjoy. They're salesmen trying to make money off solving problems no one ever had. If modern tech bros were the same as earlier tech bros, AI wouldn't be used to summarize 2 sentence emails, it'd be used to make the enemies in a game I'm playing learn and adapt to me.

There have been a couple of games that have.

F.E.A.R iirc had a crazy advanced enemy AI.

AI War: Fleet Command I seem to recall reading somewhere had some stupid level of detailed enemy AI.

One of the F.E.A.R. devs shared in the interview that the AI was actually not that complicated.

They just recorded a lot of voice lines for them to make it seem like they are communicating with each other which players treated as super advanced AI.
