Concerns over generative AI impact gaming experiences

A recent discussion highlighted concerns about generative AI in video games, particularly regarding player paranoia over AI-generated art. This anxiety extends beyond gaming, affecting how creators are perceived and critiqued. The article reflects on the social stealth multiplayer mode from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, where players mimic NPC behavior to avoid detection. This mode is seen as a precursor to current concerns about AI and anonymity in online spaces. Ubisoft is exploring generative AI with tools like "Ghostwriter" for NPC interactions. The potential for a multiplayer mode featuring evolving NPCs raises questions about the future of player interactions and the impact of AI on gaming experiences.
