There's been a lot of debate about how much AI in video game development is to be welcomed or rejected. There are plenty of opinions. Many gamers and developers are dead against generative AI for finished assets, while some see it as acceptable for ideation, prototyping and workflow improvements. Other devs might use AI for everything if they thought it would be accepted but tread carefully for fear of how it will be received.
Tim Morten, the CEO of Frost Giant Studios and formerly StarCraft production director, is one dev who's making no apologies for seeing benefits in AI, and he seems to suggest that the backlash from gamers themselves may have been over emphasised.
