Elder Scrolls 6 Director Says AI's Not A Fad But It Can't Replace Art
"I think the AI answer now becomes 'ask me in six months,' right? It changes so much what you're seeing out there. For us, we're being incredibly cautious."
"We're not fully ignoring it, because where it can help us get better at some big data tasks that just take us a lot of time, that we wish were done now so we can move onto the creative stuff."
"We're not using it to generate anything," Howard said. "I think there's an element of artistic intention that is essential to what we do and what others do. And if you look across things outside of AI, go back a hundred years, this idea of craftsmen, I still think craftsmen, and that handcrafted human intention, is what makes things special, and that's where we want to be."
Bethesda regards generative AI as more than a fad and is tracking rapid model changes. The studio experiments with AI to handle data-heavy, time-consuming tasks that could improve efficiency and let teams focus on creative work. AI is not being used to generate final game content that ships in releases. The company emphasizes handcrafted human artistic intention and craftsmanship as essential to making special experiences. Implementation remains cautious, with plans to reassess AI utility as tools and models evolve over the coming months.
