AI is slowly crawling over the gaming industry, aiming first at those areas of game development that are "easiest" to replace, or rather, those where AI can produce results that would be "good enough" to a corporate suit and much cheaper than hiring an actual human to perform heavily contextualized work.
And while I expected this to happen sooner rather than later, I never thought I'd see studios that have built up a lot of goodwill and reputation in the industry be the first ones to jump on this horrible wagon. In a Reddit post verified by moderators, a former employee of Warhorse Studios, the developers of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, alleged they were made "obsolete" in their role as a translator as the company aims to replace all localization work with artificial intelligence.
