Now, there is a fine line between having profanity to deepen the understanding of the character’s emotions and having profanity just for the sake of having it. What developers have to understand is that you have to write profanity into the dialogue well. You cannot just coat the character with profanity wherever you want and expect the player to fall for your lack of writing skills; it makes the character transparent and shallow.

When Google unveiled Genie 3, an AI that generates explorable 3D worlds from simple text prompts, investors responded by dumping video game stocks en masse—wiping out billions in market value in mere hours. But in their rush to flee, Wall Street confused "playable environments" with actual video games, ignoring the technology's hard limits while threatening the human creativity that makes games worth playing. As the industry faces a future of automated mediocrity driven by shareholder demands, the panic reveals a deeper truth: investors aren't betting on better games, just cheaper ones.
same level of fear that gen ai will replace art ... it is a tool that will help to prototipize open world games, but to completelly substitute game engines ... we are still a long way from it
Humans have been developing things to simplify jobs since the beginning.
AI is going to remove the human factor from the job, but it can never replace all jobs that need a human factor.
I wish I could see the end of the story. What is the end, end goal, final piece, etc.

Depends on the genre and setting of the game.
Absolutely not. Yes there is profanity in real life, but too many developers are using it as a crutch. Sometimes, the profanity itself becomes so ridiculous that all realism is lost.
it does seem to have hit the realms of silly, and I would argue that most games wouldn´t suffer if there was a bit less.
I don't think profanity equals realism... a game can feel realistic without it. But a few swear words can add to realism. There were a few in Alan Wake, for example, and they all seemed appropriate given the situation. I know if I were being chased by possessed townsfolk I'd swear like a sailor! ;)
There are some games that take it to an unnecesary level but I agree that given the right situation, or setting, definitely makes it more realistic
