This is an excellent analysis and matches my own thoughts. I was hoping someone with more development expertise could explain the use of ML/AI in Arc Raiders and unpack that both in terms of technical implementation and ethical impact on the broader industry.

No, we need universal basic income. AI is trained on our data. IT'S OUR CAPITAL. Treat us like shareholders. Give us our monthly dividends. Is it standard for stockholders to be paid in jobs? I want my cut for putting up the capital. We all deserve our cut.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
