Game developers should embrace generative AI, according to The Witcher 3 game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz. He said this in a new interview in which he also confirmed his upcoming new game, The Blood of Dawnwalker, used generative AI early in the process, but no AI-generated assets should be in the final game. He also said his studio Rebel Wolves wants to use AI to help support its existing workers, not replace them.
