Billionaire Valve co-founder, superyacht enthusiast, and, notably, not a movie star Gabe Newell thinks film directors – and everyone else, really – should start using AI like "some 19-year-old kid in his or her bedroom," as he recently told YouTuber Zalkar Saliev in a new interview (spotted by PC Gamer).
While I'd rather not imagine what "some 19-year-old kid" is doing in their bedroom with AI on account of the various "crazy, sexy jealous boyfriend" chatbots Instagram keeps recommending me, Newell argues that these people are just thinking, "'Oh, you guys really don't understand this. I actually use this tool.'" So it's dangerous to miss out on an opportunity to be young at heart, because AI will "impact pretty much every single business."
