Cyberpunk 2077 quest lead Pawel Sasko has revealed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red has experimented w💎ith AI generation, but he reckons it'll still be a very, very long time before the tech can compete with human-created characters.

(thanks, ), Sasko confirmed what isn't entirely surprising: CDPR has done some R&D on AI generation. Sakso didn't get into specifics with regards to CDPR and AI, but the practice is becoming increasingly more commonplace. Many, many 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:big studios are exploring 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the potential for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:AI software in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:game development, and in a lot of cases have progressed a lot further than the R&꧋;D sꦡtage.

What's interesting, and slightly - dare I say it - hopeful, is that Sasko suggested he's seen what AI is capable of and doesn't 𒊎think it's anywhere near being competent enough to replicate actual, human being writing.

Although he admitted that AI could "make the reactions of NPCs [to players' specific actions] a bit more authentic," Sasko said "when it comes to writing and voice acting, there's just a gigantic, really long way to go. I've seen a lot behind the scenes. There is a visible gap between authored content – the bespoke ♏content that writers, quest designers, cinematic desig🌸ners make with their own hands – and something that AI can provide."

Talking specifically about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:acclaimed 2023 expansion and the conclusion of theꦯ main game's story, Sasko said he could "only yet imagine how AI could get even c💯lose," and added, "The gap in quality, specifically, is huge. It's like a canyon."

Of course, no one knows how quickly AI-generated scripting will advance and thus can't say with any certainty if and when it'll overtake human-created content in terms of quality, but it's already multitudes more efficient. For his part, Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke says AI is "a tool that we use to help us do things faster" but doesn't think "it'll ever replace a creati🐭ve side" of development.

Baldur's Gate 3, The Witcher, and Final Fantasy 16 actors recently weighed in on AI fears.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelanci꧃ng for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
