ChatGPT has the user base of nearly a billion people yet still struggles with video analysis or creation.
Google Gemini has had video analysis built in for some time yet ChatGPT, even with its amazing capabilities and basically creating the AI chatbot industry, still does not have advanced video analysis.
ChatGPT has the ability to analyze videos but it’s still limited in here.
This is the great issue that ChatGPT now has.
It has the user base, but it needs to be able to keep up with its competitors.
ChatGPT has an advantage now, but I think Google may surpass simply because it has its ecosystem already set up here.
They have almost a billion on their platform, but there is always a chance someone will be able to provide a better product. Refining is not enough and surpassing the rivals is what they need to accomplish here so that the future of AI remains sturdy and helps to transform humanity here.
There are many people who have been betting against AI for many reasons. The main reason in my opinion is because it is disrupting the media ecosystem and ad revenue that these companies were relying on here. They want to return to how things were but that simply cannot happen with ChatGPT.
This is not just an app but whole new electronic ecosystem.
OpenAI has recently stated that the company is making money quicker than at the beginning of the internet age.
Why?
It’s because it is building an ecosystem which goes beyond the internet’s original promise.
The information which we originally put online was not done with efficiently and thought. We were sometimes competent but many people were still treating it as a novelty here.
ChatGPT can give the internet new life which it didn’t have before. Copilot Tasks, another important part of the Copilot Ecosystem can automate many tasks and make using your computer easier.
The Windows interface is full of bloatware. ChatGPT allows for users to spend their time on other tasks instead of wasting it on navigating through so many menus.
It isn’t just a product but infrastructure just as the Telegraph network and Telephone networks were. The difference is that it is not yet in the hands of one company such as Western Union which had a monopoly by the 1860s era in telegrams.
We are building for the future not the past and that is why ChatGPT has gotten people to support it here.
Wild West Pioneers is a city builder game with a focus on resource gather set in the Western Expansion phase of the Old West in America.
Here are my ideas for the game.
1. Outlaws who harass the town
I think that many city builders are in two camps. The cozy ones and the ones where there is some outside pressure. The Caesar Series generally was based on having some pressure on the player while the SimCity series more of a cozy game.
Wild West Pioneers needs to have outlaws and their gangs running around in random events. These events should be based on multiple mechanics in the game. I think it would make the game more dyanmic and interesting. Many cozy games end up being chores and boring simply because the player is just looking at graphs and charts here.
2. More than just resources
One of the issues that I have with city builders in our age is that many of them focus too much on resource gathering here. There needs to be a focus on character not just looking at objects on a screen.
This is one issue that I have had with some of the Paradox games. They tend to be too focused on the charts instead of the characters and the story. City Skylines tends to have this issue also where the game is simply too clean and too much of a movie set. I want to see the life of the town, not just collect resources. Such a gameplay loop is more of something you see in the RTS genre, where base building is more important than the personality of the units or structures.
3. Every citizen needs to be unique
One thing that I want to see in the games is that there is a sense that every person in your town is unique. Considering that Wild West Pioneers is dealing with small towns, this should be something the engine can handle here. Virginia City and Carson City were rather modest but had huge personalities that one even struggles to find in some medium sized cities in our age now.
I think that the personality system is really important at cultivating replayablity so players have a willingness to spend more time exploring the game. Too many games tend to have shallow gameplay. Players want to not have work but to have an experience that they can remember. Video games are not meant to be jobs and the developer should remember that there.
4. Mayor system has to matter in the game
I have recently heard that the game is going to have mayors that you can choose. This mechanic should mean something in here. Make them have unique personalities and have different political parties so that the game is more unique in every playthrough.
5. Elections
I think that having elections in this game would give some more flavor to your towns. While I believe that the game will probably add more features in DLCs if it is successful in here, having elections would help make these playthroughs more dynamic and it bring it into line what players want now. With the size of these cities being smaller than most city builders, I think that this should be appropriate for this game.
6. Trains need to play an important role
In many parts of the USA, small towns were supported by a new technology, railways. Cheyenne, Wyoming began as a railway town, so did many other places. The game has to be able to capture this change and vibrancy of the trains steaming into these small towns. The steam train has been a technology that capture the imaginations of that age and they are prefect visual aspects of a video game which can show off the power of an engine.
