Pragmata Developers Say They ‘Couldn’t Predict’ Real-Life AI’s Growth When They First Conceived The Game's Story

The developers of Capcom's upcoming game, Pragmata, have revealed that they "couldn't predict" the rapid growth of real-life AI when they first conceived the game's story. Pragmata features a rogue AI on the moon as the main antagonist, causing trouble for a spaceman and his android companion. The developers explain that the prominence of AI in the game's narrative was not a reaction to the current real-world AI landscape, but rather a creative decision made during the early stages of development. They express surprise at how AI has become such a prevalent and widely discussed topic in recent times, highlighting the unpredictable nature of technological advancements. The article emphasizes that the developers' focus was on crafting an engaging and thought-provoking narrative, rather than trying to directly reflect or comment on the actual state of AI development. Pragmata's story, it seems, was born out of the developers' own creative vision, rather than a deliberate attempt to mirror real-world AI trends.
