以《莊園領主（Manor Lords）》等策略模擬遊戲而聞名的發行商Hooded Horse的總經理正式禁止在公司項目中使用生成式人工智慧（AI）。在接受Kotaku採訪時，該工作室負責人蒂姆·本德（Tim Bender）表示，AI生成內容現已被寫入發行合同，明確列為不可接受的內容。
本德稱，生成式人工智慧工具非但沒有讓工作更輕鬆，反而增添了諸多問題，並開始滲透到本不該出現的領域。他指出，現在Hooded Horse的合同中已明確加入一條：該發行商發行的遊戲中不得使用任何AI生成素材。
該公司更進一步，建議開發者在生產的所有階段都完全放棄使用生成式人工智慧——不僅最終資源中不得使用，就連臨時占位素材也不得使用。原因很簡單：如果項目中出現此類內容，就始終存在其「混入」最終發布版本的風險。本德將這種情況稱為「惡性腫瘤」，需要持續監控。
此類舉措還與近期發生的一些事件有關，當時有玩家在一些大型遊戲中發現了AI生成內容的痕跡，這引發了廣泛關注，也讓玩家對遊戲開發者提出了質疑。Hooded Horse打算徹底避免此類情況的發生。
Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: https://gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-dev-embraces-machine-learning-for-tasks-that-nobody-wants-to-do/1100-6531123/ We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.
The AI background art is pretty low quality unfortunately

該發行商以《Terra Invicta 1.0》的發布開啟了新的一年，開發團隊為這款遊戲傾注了九年多的心血。在Steam平台的該遊戲頁面上，沒有任何關於使用人工智慧的說明，而根據該公司的立場，此類標註也不會出現。
