From AI-generated art to ChatGPT's worryingly coherent output, generative AI has been propelled into the limelight over the past two months – but its role in game development still remains unclear.
For those who have missed the recent conversations, generative AI is a tool that can be used to create something from a written prompt. Ask ChatGPT to write a short summary of something and it will do so. Type a description of a person or place – real or fictional – into Midjourney and it will offer you four different pictures that fit your brief.
We reached out to a range of game makers to get their thoughts on this nascent but increasingly prominent technology. Some declined, stating they do not (yet) understand enough about generative AI and the implications of using it to offer insight, but those who did respond were never far from a historical analogy.
