Larian Studios, best known as the creator of Baldur's Gate 3, has confirmed it is using generative AI tools during development, prompting mixed reactions online and renewed criticism of just what studios are like behind the scenes. The backlash has been loud, emotional, and deeply split.
Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke addressed the issue in an interview with Bloomberg, confirming that the studio uses generative AI as part of its development process. According to Vincke, the goal is to improve efficiency and shorten development timelines, particularly as the studio works on future projects following Baldur's Gate 3. He stated clearly that AI is not being used to replace human work, saying, 'Everything is human actors; we're writing everything ourselves.'
