The world of gaming is about to get a whole lot crazier, folks, and not just because of the impending release of Crazy Taxi: World Tour 🚕👀. Nope, it’s because SEGA has decided to jump on the AI bandwagon and use Generative AI in the development of the game 🤖. Because, you know, what could possibly go wrong with using AI to create content for a game that’s all about embracing the chaos and unpredictability of crazy taxi driving 🤣?
According to Game Informer, who managed to get a statement from SEGA, the use of GenAI was just a “support tool” for developers, because, you know, humans are just so last season 🙄. SEGA claims that the AI was used to “provide better content” and “enable developers to focus more on creative tasks” 🤔. Sure, because that’s exactly what we want – more AI-generated content and less human creativity 🎨. The statement also reassured fans that “no AI was used in reference to the performers in the game”, because, you know, that would be just too crazy 🤪.
But wait, there’s more 🤔! SEGA’s use of GenAI has sparked a heated debate among fans, with some expressing their distaste for the decision 🤮. Because, you know, using AI to generate content for a game that’s all about counter-culture and rebellion against the mainstream is just so… mainstream 🙄. Fans have taken to social media to express their outrage, with comments like “AI Slop” and “Don’t buy” 🚫. One fan even went so far as to say “they’re using genai NO NO NO NO NO”, which, honestly, is just the most passionate and articulate response we’ve ever seen 😂.
SEGA’s decision to use GenAI in Crazy Taxi: World Tour is not entirely surprising, given their previous statements about investing in AI technology 🤑. In a Q&A session following the publication of their Q2 financial results, SEGA said they would “pursue efficiency improvements, such as leveraging AI” 🤖. Because, you know, efficiency is just so much more important than human creativity and originality 🙄.
The game, which was revealed during the XBOX Games Showcase 2026, is set to release in 2027 📆. And, honestly, we can’t wait to see how the AI-generated content turns out 🤣. Will it be a masterpiece of creativity and innovation, or a soulless, AI-generated mess 🤖? Only time will tell 🕰️. But one thing’s for sure – the use of GenAI in Crazy Taxi: World Tour is sure to spark a lot of interesting discussions and debates about the role of AI in game development 💻.
