AI and gaming have had a complicated relationship in recent times as the rise in attempted use of automated AI tools has aligned with a spike in layoffs at several game dev studios. When devs do use AI, they're very careful with how they publicly announce how it's used, such as the team at World of Warcraft revealing they use AI to clear out more \"tedious\" work while not \"impacting human work or creative outlets.\" Devs have come under fire recently for using AI, specifically when it comes to character dialogue. Embark, the developer of first-person shooter THE FINALS, had to respond to negative feedback toward AI-generated commentary for the in-game announcers, affirming that removing voice actors \u201cisn\u2019t the end goal.\u201d Back in March, Ubisoft took criticism after implementing an AI tool to help with narrative design and first draft writing, which it foolishly named \"Ghostwriter.\" Microsoft recently finalized and completed its deal to acquire massive game publisher Activision Blizzard.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/27201525\/Halo_Cortana.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021175"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/928"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1021175"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021175\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1021256,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021175\/revisions\/1021256"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/582980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1021175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1021175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1021175"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1021175"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1021175"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1021175"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1021175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
