Ubisoft Has Created An AI Tool That Will Generate NPC Dialogue

With the rise of AI over the past few years, many have become worried that the Technology may cause artists and voice actors to lose potential work due to its continued use in the Games industry. One of the more rectn, high-profile examples of Games using AI art was High on Life, which used AI-generated art to add "finishing touches" to various posters found in the Game.

It's not just artists that are worried about AI's continued popularity, as tools such as ChatGPT have writers on edge too. Now, adding to those nerves is Ubisoft, which recently announced that it has created an in-house AI tool that will help generate dialogue for NPCs (thanks VGC). Created by Ubisoft La Forge, Ubisoft Ghostwriter will be used to generate the first draft of "barks" from NPCs, which are generic voicelines that you'll hear shouted from passerbys when exploring open worlds.

Ubisoft has claimed that this tool will help scriptwriters and give them "more time and freedom" to work on more important dialogue for main characters and cutscenes, essentially cutting out all of the rePetitive busywork in creating NPC barks. Despite Ubisoft's general excitement surrounding the tool, the public doesn't appear to share the same sentiment.

Ubisoft already has a reputation for creating fairly bland open worlds, and many believe that this tool will only add to that feeling. Then there are those that are worrying what this means for scriptwriters themselves, as less work obviously means less people are required. Ubisoft has stated that this tool has been developed in conjunction with scriptwriters, though that doesn't seem to have done much to ease worries. The tool even has some pretty high-profile skeptics, including God of War director Cory Barlog who simply tweeted a reaction gif of Kratos to get across his concern.

We don't know how far Ubisoft is going to go with this tech, although I doubt we'll see AI-written protagonists any time soon. Still, the direction that the industry is going with AI is pretty worrying for everyone involved, and Ubisoft openly and proudly using AI in Game development like this could potentially open the door for more massive companies to do the same.

ART! A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall – Jamestown Art Center

The latest curated exhibit at the Jamestown Art Center will be held from April 21 to June 15, 2023. Opening reception will be April 21st from 5:30 to 7:30pm and curated by Lara Pan. Lara Pan is an independent curator, writer and researcher based in New York. Her research focuses on the intersection between art, Science , Technology and paranormal phenomena. An Intersection of Art and Science: A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall My conception of this project was a uniquely spontaneous and intuitive process that connected an imaginative vision of historical facts with the rich cultural heritage of Rhode Island, especially the city of Newport. The title of the exhibition— A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall, taken from the Bob Dylan song written sixty years ago during the summer of 1962—was no accident. The legendary songwriter himself said that some of the lyrics occurred to him through mysterious channels, akin to Kerouac’s notion of automatic writing. Inspired by the old European

Mikel Arteta determined to fix Arsenal's poor record at Anfield

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has described this weekend as an ‘opportunity’ to end the club’s poor recent record at Anfield when they face an inconsistent Liverpool in the Premier League . The Gunners have not won a game at Anfield in any competition since a league visit in September 2012 almost 11 years ago. Of the 12 times they have been to the red side of Merseyside since, eight have ended in Liverpool wins, with four draws. In 2020, Arteta’s Arsenal won at Old Trafford for the first time since 2006, while the recent north London derby victory was their first away at Tottenham since 2015. Arsenal have won their last three trips to Stamford Bridge, but prior to 2021 hadn’t won there since 2011. Anfield remains the next one to tick off in terms of big away wins for Arteta.
