BioWare Co-Founder Criticizes AI: 'Can't Create Great Games with Random People'
Greg Zeschuk questions the use of generative AI in game development, citing a lack of experience and understanding of the development process.
Zeschuk argues that the use of generative AI and random people is not a viable solution for creating quality games. He emphasizes the importance of skills acquired through direct experience in the development process, which is often lost due to frequent layoffs and studio closures.
The comments come amidst news of BioWare’s closure, which Zeschuk learned about through text messages. He notes that his initial reaction was not as intense as expected, given his departure from the company many years ago.
Zeschuk is concerned about the fate of employees who lost their jobs due to the closure, and criticizes the idea that AI can replace experience and understanding of the development process.
