This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

I've always been dissatisfied with the Emoth's design, and I scrapped the part of the world where the Astrum lived... so I decided to replace the original Emoth design with the Astrum!

I noticed whenever a show/movie decides to have these quiet, introspective moments like in Eternals, The Acolyte, or even Andor, that’s when people decide to call it “slow” or poorly written. It’s like no, you’ve just conditioned yourself to see action moments as the only valid thing.

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

three is too many game studios to admit to using AI in development. it's such a slap in the face to every artist and writer who put their time and energy into making fanworks.
I say this as someone who has written and draw fanart for bg3. What the fuck, Larian!

whats irresponsible is tying your video game company to a money bubble that trains on unethically obtained data

agreed. it was fine as a teenager, because i had nothing better to do with my life. but as an adult, the hype dies as i am forced to slog through fifty thousand quests just to reach the end of the game, while also balancing work and uni
Not every AAA game needs to be 80+ hours long and take 7 years to make and sell ten million copies to hit “targets.” We don’t need to keep doing that.
