Jirsa told PC Gamer that he understands why people hate when art is generated with AI, and that's because he hates it, too. While using AI to generate art that would be released to the public is not something Jirsa is interested in, he said the technology can be "really helpful" during development in other ways. That includes AI-assisted programming efforts and coming up with concept art with genAI.

Kaplan says that he does see AI as something that could potentially help with some of the more mundane logistical sides of game development, but he feels that the technology and its peddlers are "overconfident" in what it offers. He tells a story of how he used ChatGPT to try to solve a UI problem, as that isn't his area of expertise, and the bot "overconfidently" gave him the wrong answer.

It's been a week since we announced Divinity, our next RPG, and a lot has become lost in translation. Larian's DNA is agency. Everything we work towards is to the benefit of our teams, games, and players. A better work day, and a better game. Our successes come from empowering people to work in their own way and bring the best out of their skill & craft, so that we can make the best RPGs we can possible make.

Kojima warned that relying too heavily on remaking old franchises is creatively risky and that, in the future, AI will likely be used to create these kinds of projects. Kojima has already said he doesn't see AI as a threat, though. Instead, he believes it can be a helpful tool for handling repetitive tasks, allowing human creators to focus on more imaginative work. Kojima explained that he sees AI as a "friend" in development, one that improves efficiency without replacing human leadership in creativity.

According to the report from Business Insider, EA's top brass over the past year has urged its nearly 15,000 workers to use AI for everything from coding and concept art to scripting conversations around performance reviews and promotions. Internal documents Business Insider obtained showed some workers are not just expected to take multiple AI training courses, but also use AI daily to expedite work, with the idea that the tech is a "thought partner."
