Ubisoft has announced the launch of 'Ubisoft Ghostwriter,' an AI tool that will generate the first draft of crowd chatter and NPC lines for its games. The tool aims to assist the scriptwriters and enable them to work on less repetitive tasks. However, some game developers have criticized the move, saying the company should invest more in human writers. The tool is not used for cinematics or lore and offers variations on a piece of dialogue to create more realistic NPC interactions.
Ubisoft has developed an AI tool called Ghostwriter to help scriptwriters generate first-draft dialogue for non-playable characters (NPCs) in video games. The tool will handle repetitive tasks such as phrases and sounds uttered by NPCs during triggered events, freeing up writers to focus on more important aspects of the script. However, the announcement has been met with criticism from some in the industry who argue that editing AI-generated scripts would be more time-consuming than writing their own dialogue.
The Writers Guild of America has proposed allowing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in scriptwriting, as long as it does not affect writers' credits or residuals. The proposal would treat AI as a tool, rather than a writer, and would allow writers to benefit from the technology without getting dragged into credit arbitrations with software manufacturers. The proposal does not address the scenario in which an AI program writes a script entirely on its own, without help from a person. The WGA is set to continue bargaining for the next two weeks before reporting back to members on next steps and a potential strike.
