Jackbox is a series of fun party games that I’ve come to have a real appreciation for since getting a few packs on my Switch and other friend’s consoles. It has allowed people who aren’t really into games to enjoy an evening activity of lying to each other or drawing the worst pictures imaginable. Good times.
Recently, the CEO of Jackbox Games, Mike Bilder, had an interview in which he talked about the packs themselves and how they view AI usage with them. As it turns out, they don’t use it, and probably never will, which is exactly the kind of forward thinking that continues to let me enjoy these games! They particularly note how the art, writing and other aspects are all done by humans for humans and they have no intention of changing that anytime soon, based statement. Hopefully it continues to be the case in the future as we really need more devs taking a hardline stance on using this lazy technology.
That’s all for now, and as always. It’s not just a game, It’s a Life.
