The people who are making Star Wars Galactic Racer almost certainly pitched something like that when they were working at EA studios, so it's probably gonna feel really good when it becomes one of the best-selling games of the year.

Right now, there are two extremes with AI: 1. Total AI Slop 2. Refusal to use it/bare minimum use In between is the sweet spot where real value, progress, & success are. The problem? Everyone is so busy jumping to the extremes that they're missing the actual opportunity.
