Creative director Guillaume Broche recently appeared on YouTube's Konbini Video Game Club to give his thoughts on using generative AI in game development. Broche said his studio doesn't use the technology for any creative purposes and that it “takes the joy out of creating.” But that doesn't mean he ignores the possibility of something happening in the future. “But I think everyone is afraid of the way forward and how things will turn out,” Broche said. “For video games, we still have some protection because it’s technically a different baseball game, but I think there will come a day when you can get through a game in five seconds with a prompt.”
