Recently, Musk's launch of the 2D AI girlfriend Ani has attracted a lot of attention and even triggered a wave of Cosplay craze.The promoter @Grummz shared a Cos photo on social media, bluntly saying that his COS to Musk's AI girlfriend fully demonstrates the great success of AI girlfriend, and by the way he despises the current 3A gaming industry.

Ani's case may provide new inspiration for 3A game development, he said: "If no one in your game COSes your characters, then you are likely to be a failed 3A developer in Europe and the United States."

Musk's AI girlfriend Ani not only caused heated discussions in the technology circle, but also quickly spread to the 2D and Cosplay circles, becoming a brand new cultural phenomenon.Although the evaluation of the promoter Grummz is a bit spicy, it reveals a realistic problem: many European and American 3A games today, although their budgets are often over 100 million and their technical specifications are first-class, they frequently fail in cultural influence and character shaping, resulting in players not only being willing to create second-hand products, but also being unwilling to substitute.

Ani's popularity just confirms the value of "character resonance".Although Ani is just an AI virtual image and does not have so-called plot tasks or open worlds, she accurately grasps elements such as "personalized companionship", "visual aesthetics", and "two-dimensional emotional common sense", and quickly gained recognition and active dissemination from young users, and even triggered a global trend of Cosplay imitation.This phenomenon has put traditional 3A manufacturers in embarrassment: you are trying hard to build technology, but you forget the most core thing - making players like characters.

In the past decade, the development logic of European and American 3A games has often revolved around "better picture", "larger map" and "more tasks". At the same time, character design is becoming more and more politically correct, making it difficult for players to continue to invest in the characters.In contrast, Ani's popularity shows that the importance of character shaping and emotional links is far greater than that of technical materials.

The Ani phenomenon is an interesting cultural experiment. It not only challenges the boundaries between AI and entertainment, but may also provide important reflection opportunities for the European and American 3A gaming industry.Future game development may not only be "bigger and more dazzling", but also more humane, making players more enjoyable to play, imitate and love.
