World of Warcraft: Midnight's lead composer feels 'very lucky and happy that we're not using generative AI'

Generative AI has been showing up in games so often these days that I don’t know who to trust anymore. It seems like every day there’s another game studio or publisher plaguing their games with more gen AI voice acting, gen AI chat bots, or gen AI art.

Blizzard developers, however, have come out against gen AI, implying it’s not being used in the development of their games. Overwatch game director Aaron Keller told GameSpot last month that the team isn’t “comfortable” putting “AI-generated content out in front of players.” Former World of Warcraft franchise director John Hight explicitly said no gen AI was being used for the MMO last year, too.
