Okay, folks, let’s talk about Xbox and AI—because apparently, someone needs to hit pause on this wild ride. Earlier this month, an Xbox Game Studios producer suggested that the folks laid off from Microsoft should turn to AI if they’re feeling overwhelmed. Really? I mean, I’m all for using technology to cope, but maybe not when it’s coming from the same company that’s fumbling its AI marketing game.
In a delightful (and chaotic) twist, IGN pointed out an eyebrow-raising LinkedIn post from principal development lead Mike Matsel. He decided to showcase a totally questionable AI-generated image saying, “Xbox Graphics is hiring.” Except, oops! The monitor display was on the *wrong* side. Yep, I can practically hear the collective facepalms echoing through cyberspace.
So, here’s the takeaway: if your AI game isn’t strong enough to keep up with basic graphics principles, maybe, just maybe, it’s time to take a step back. Let’s reserve the tech for tasks it’s *actually* good at, like making our Netflix suggestions slightly less awkward.
In the meantime, maybe it’s time for Xbox to give their AI a little time-out. What’s the funniest AI fail you’ve come across?
