There are a handful of studios out there that, if they revealed they were using generative AI in their games, I’d be particularly heartbroken about. Bethesda is absolutely one of them – hand-crafted, detailed worlds and quests full of memorable moments and flair are the core pillars that helped it make some of the best RPGs of all time. Even the procedural generation used in many of Starfield’s vast planets muddied the waters a bit, so injecting AI-generated content into its games could be even more damaging and disappointing. Todd Howard has previously gone on record to say that AI is not generating anything inside the studio, and in a new interview with Kinda Funny, he reaffirms that. However, he appears open to adopting AI tools that can help Bethesda tackle “big data tasks” so that developers can “move on to the creative stuff.”
