Genvid Refutes Allegations of Using AI-Generated Dialogue in Silent Hill: Ascension
Following accusations from players, Genvid has denied the use of artificial intelligence to generate dialogue in Silent Hill: Ascension. The controversy began when players shared examples of the game's writing on social media, sparking allegations that the developer was relying on AI to produce the content. In response, Genvid CEO Jacob Navok took to social media to assure players that every word in the game was written by human writers, many of whom have extensive experience in the industry. Navok emphasized that the studio's 100,000+ words of content were all created by a dedicated team of writers, with no involvement from AI or language models. He also discussed the studio's experiments with AI in game development, including tests on animation and cinematic production, but noted that these efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. Navok expressed his skepticism about the use of AI in creative endeavors, stating that the technology is still far from being capable of producing high-quality creative work. The debate surrounding Genvid's use of AI comes amid broader concerns about the role of microtransactions in the game, with some players suggesting that big spenders have an unfair advantage in the game's voting system. However, Navok has denied these claims, stating that the notion that players can 'win' by paying is generally false.
