The Next Halo Game Will Heavily Use Generative Artificial Intelligence

A new report claims that generative artificial intelligence (AI) will play a major role in developing the next chapter of the Halo series and all future Halo Studios projects.

Generative AI is apparently woven into every aspect of development, such as enemy AI and terrain generation. I think what they're mostly doing is that, and then touching up the work with human hands. Also, developers are expected to meet similar or quicker deadlines, and the only means to do so is through the use of AI. Whether that's mundane tasks like scheduling things or writing emails, all the way up to actual game development.

Apparently the original leaker said "its just procedural generation". That makes it worse actually.

"Enemy AI and terrain generation" aren't what people usually mean when they say Gen-AI. That's procedural generation.

Just make a good game.

I have more faith in AI than the dev. Hopefully it's not "procedural generation" though like starfailed.

Enemy AI? Are we supposed to be shocked that AI will use ....AI?

Cortana was in all the Halo games so this headline is old news by a few decades!

This bubble will burst so hard. Unfortunately, by then it won't probably be funny. People are drunk on their childish dreamworld visions of what "ai" is, completely detached from reality.

I'd say I'm not going to buy it, but I already wasn't going to buy it so I guess that's not really much of an escalation.

But I don't like this move, personally. I will watch with great interest as this insistence that devs have to use AI at every turn backfires on them. This notion of offloading real work or significant cognitive load on AI and just hoping that it doesn't screw something up is laughable.

As a dungeon crawler fan myself I don't see anything wrong with the concept of procedural content. Now, it doesn't really make sense in a game like Halo, though.
