Brace yourself, folks, because it sounds like Blizzard is getting into AI-generated art. A recent report in the New York Times (via Kotaku) contains some choice(?) excerpts from an email sent to Blizzard staff by Allen Adham—Blizzard's chief design officer—in which he enthuses about the potential benefits that AI could bring to the company's workflow.
Blizzard's tool is called Blizzard Diffusion, a not enormously inspired pun on Stable Diffusion, and Adham told staff it's put the studio "on the brink of a major evolution in how we build and manage our games". "Prepare to be amazed," said Adham.
