Not exactly the kind of stuff that revolutionises an industry, and certainly not enough to justify reducing labour en masse.<\/p>\n<p>This also seems to be the view of joint CD Projekt Red CEO Micha\u0142 Nowakowski, who was asked such a question during an <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MqL4uw3QFzY\" target=\"_blank\">earnings conference<\/a> yesterday, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-witcher\/cd-projekt-says-its-not-using-generative-ai-on-the-witcher-4-because-its-quite-tricky-when-it-comes-to-legal-ip-ownership\/\">once more<\/a> found himself required to emphasise that they&#8217;re using people to make videogames like The Witcher 4: &#8220;AI is definitely becoming a thing in games development as well. We are still predominantly using people and this is our plan\u2014to make games where we&#8217;re not walking away from that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not to say that AI tools aren&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/cyberpunks-quest-director-says-cd-projekt-red-has-experimented-with-generative-ai-but-theres-still-a-gigantic-really-long-way-to-go-before-ai-npcs-are-as-good-as-scripted-characters\/\">being experimented with<\/a>, they&#8217;re just nowhere near a focal or vital part of development for the studio: &#8220;AI, if anything, is a tool like many others that&#8217;s helping in places that can maybe become more helpful in the future but we&#8217;re not planning to rely on AI making complete games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Part of that, Nowakowski emphasises, is because the kind of games they make are so complex that it wouldn&#8217;t make a lick of sense to leave the careful craftsmanship of them up to an LLM or vibe coding: &#8220;especially with very complex games like ours, I don&#8217;t even think this is the right or ethical path to follow. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So whether this is true for the whole industry, I&#8217;m not the person to make those statements. I think everybody has to make those judgments on their own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even if you scrap the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/ai\/palworld-studio-says-gamers-dont-want-ai-in-their-games-it-feels-like-everyone-who-is-super-gung-ho-about-it-isnt-from-the-industry\/\">general distaste<\/a> for AI slop, it&#8217;s not like going all-in on the tech is risk free.
