Several members of Homeworld 3 studio Blackbird Interactive recently took part in a roundtable discussion hosted by PC Gamer's Evan Lahti, with AI as the main topic. While all of them saw the value of algorithmic tools in creating videogames, the consensus was that things aren't 100% ready for prime time yet.
"There is no AI-driven software that I know of that we would put in a shipped game that would come from Blackbird," said Rory Mcguire, the studio's president and CCO, "none of the art that's being produced on Midjourney. We would use it to block in some ideas or explore some ideas we already have—we're doing that now. But we wouldn't put that art into the game. It's just an inspiration, the same way you would do Google image search."
