Todd Howard: AI ‘Not a Fad’ but Shouldn’t Replace Handcrafted Art
Every big game studio is currently trying to figure out if genAI tools are the real deal and how they can be used to help make games more quickly and efficiently. Todd Howard pushed back against suggestions the LLM boom is just a “fad,” saying “It’s certainly not a fad” in a February 18 interview with Kinda Funny Games.
“I think the AI answer now becomes ‘ask me in six months,’ right? It changes so much what you’re seeing out there. For us, we’re being incredibly cautious.” Howard confirmed Bethesda is experimenting with AI for data-heavy tasks but keeping it out of the creative department, at least for now.
