Ubisoft sparks debate by unveiling AI tool to aid scriptwriting

Ubisoft has sparked debate by showing off its new Ghostwriter tool, an "AI" designed to aid its writers create dialogue for in-game NPCs.

ChatGBT write us a new video game.

People already have made some basic games with it.

[Neonridr]

lol, no surprise at all.

[XbladeTeddy]

Maybe this could have helped the awful dialogue in Midnight Suns. That dialogue was awful, maybe the AI could be a better alternative so people can concentrate of the actual story more.

Ai Should be used as a tool rather than a replacement.
Its great for writers to brainstorm ideas and get out of some of the writing block that they have. It also great for doing quick research rather than scan endless books on the internet.
Ai will aid with easing the coding struggles and help get to solutions faster.

#1 use for it should be used for curing cancer and ageing. But companies are more interested in money than curing a disease.

There’s plenty of money in curing diseases. At least in the US. They’ve been using AI for a while too for healthcare.

[XbladeTeddy]

It's already being used to diagnose illnesses and is being used for other medical stuff. Nothing wrong in other industries trying it out for their field of work.

AI should be a tool not replacing writing imo.

[GoodGuy09]

I mean Ubi already has souless writing, maybe AI can actually make it better for them lol

[isarai]

Basically what i came here to say 🤣

[TwistedXenos]

Ubisoft will allow writers to use that AI tool so AI could learn from them. One day the writers will come to work to find out that they have been replaced when AI has learned enough. It's how things are, throughout history, first came tools to help workers, tools got more advanced and before we knew it, tools became robots.

Aren't there unions for this?

[hotnickles]

I have no doubt it will probably be better written in whatever style you want. AI is pretty sick on concept art too. There is still weird flaws like eyes and hand but if you have an idea of what you want the AI will make it for you no sweat. I feel for those artists.

Even the jobs you thought were safe like the arts and the creative human side are going automated. Voice acting as well with the deep fakes.

I'm playing Watch_Dogs right now, and the NPC writing is already so bad, it feels like it was written by a very rudimentary AI program as it is.

It's only going to get worse from here when they rely upon AI even more, and their games become even more souless than ever before.
