Nintendo noticed ai exists just now and thus dodged the hype cycle
Good for them. I’d love to see ALL industries do this but that’s going to be impossible. We’d need greed eradicated before that happens.
I'm sure it makes designing Pokémon much easier
That's Game Freak. Nintendo is the publisher, and it owns 32% of The Pokémon Company, but they don't actually develop the games.
Would rather be normal and not dumb.
Nintendo can't even do games on a technical standard higher than 2012, how should they use AI? And their hardware is way to weak as well BTW.
They're just lucky that the current AI Models are crap, otherwise this would be the next standard they're missing in their "more of the same since 1980" games.
They should use more energy and money for developing innovative games than suing every fart on the planet.
I'll never understand how these always get downvoted. I understand Nintendo people love their zelda and mario games, but their console is less powerful than most mobile phones. I bought disco elysium on the switch that i only have for my nephew. It has a lot of trouble running DISCO ELYSIUM!
Because even though everyone knows Nintendo's consoles are under powered, they still usually deliver a ton of gameplay fun.
In this particular case, very few people want more "AI" in their stuff... and as even OP admits, current "AI" is crap. So why would I want to pay extra $$$ for hardware that can run "AI" when my gaming experience is likely not going to improve one bit?

So you are complaining they are not adopting something you admit is currently crap?!
I'm going to complain about billionaire taxes then, I mean I have no billions but I'll complain anyway
No, I'm saying, that Nintendo wouldnt benefit at all from AI, so why should they use it in the first place? And the reasons for that are:
-AI in it's current state can only support in certain areas -Nintendo's games aren't massive enough to profit from the things AI can do atm
An example: AI can do Text to Speech, but Nintendo doesn't make games like TES. Nintendo needs to optimise their games highly to run on a switch, which AI can't do.
He is just stating the obvious, like saying the sun is hot.

But he could say they are engineering to catch up to the trend, right? the question is not if they are to implement AI features in their current 8 year old console. The question is if AI is in their development path in the future
And the answer is no, Nintendo does not seem to see value there. I for one agree, the stuff you mentioned about AI in other comments in the thread go from "meh" to "I actively do not want that in my games". This is just my opinion as a casual gamer but I see logic in Nintendo's stance here.
