Since concept art is being called out explicitly - we have 23 concept artists and have job openings for more. These artists are creating concept art day in day out for ideation and production use. Everything we do is incremental and aimed at having people spend more time creating. Any ML tool used well is additive to a creative team or individual's workflow, not a replacement for their skill or craft."

Larian Studios is conducting experiments with generative AI for placeholder text, PowerPoint presentations, and early concept-art experiments while asserting no AI-generated content will appear in the upcoming Baldur's Gate 3. Swen Vincke clarified that the studio is expanding its creative hires, including concept artists, writers, performers, and translators, and emphasized that ML tools are intended to be additive to creative workflows, not replacements for human craft. The announcement provoked swift negative reactions from fans and some former or current staff, who expressed distress and urged the company to reconsider AI use out of respect for creative employees.
