#SHODAN #SystemShock #midjourney #rogueAI /i4Gwi2bpdQ- System Shock April 28, 2023 Imagine, how would my immortal body look like?ĭesigned by an immortal machine for an immortal machine. Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone. SHODAN, short for Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network, is simultaneously a warning of the dangers of technology run amuck, and a really funny character. These real life developments in AI, alongside pop culture phenomena like the novel I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, probably coalesced to inspire Warren Spector in developing SHODAN. At this time, AI development had moved away from being primarily government projects, to being funded as private enterprises. Carnegie Mellon’s chess supercomputer Deep Blue was three years away from beating grandmaster Garry Kasparov. In 1994, the year System Shock was originally released, AI was a completely different proposition than it is now. Instead it’s SHODAN, the fictional AI who has entertained gamers for decades for her hammy characterization as a malevolent force eager to destroy humanity. But this will never be at the expense of using skilled people or their creative talents."Īs you can see by looking at other replies, this argument might not have won over the fanbase, but it seems that the System Shock will continue to use AI regardless.As every self-respecting System Shock fan knows, the most important character in the franchise is not the protagonist. "We will use AI again to create other pieces (including artwork). This was about using AI to imagine what AI imagines itself to look like," the replies read. "This was never about using AI to create artwork instead of using real people. Underneath the original post, the team elaborated on the conversation they wanted to start. which was the entire point of starting the conversation." In a Twitter post following the original tweet, the System Shock account said "an AI using AI to imagine what AI would look like in a physical form doesn't get more meta than that.
However, it seems that the developers are standing by their use of AI art.
The use of AI art will earn anyone at least some controversy online, but the team behind the System Shock Remake have seen a lot of flak thanks to their use of the technology. The System Shock Remake team recently posted an image of SHODAN, the game's primary antagonist, which was generated by AI.
