Read from siliconera:

Chitoshi Nishimura, Managing Executive Officer & Manager of Legal Affairs at Koei Tecmo, stated:

“When VR, AR, and NFTs came out, companies tried to utilize these technologies to create some form of entertainment. The difference is that, VR and AR, for example, are technologies that can directly impact the user’s idea of what makes a game interesting. However, just because there’s generative AI in a game or just because the companies used generative AI doesn’t necessarily mean that the game will be fun. In that sense, we’re treating it as a tool among many… So we won’t consider it special simply because it’s generative AI. The company’s current position is that we will use it if it proves useful.”

However, he believes that what end users care about is whether a game is fun or not. He does not think that players care if a company used generative AI in its development. Nishimura’s suggestion for using it in an actual game project is that the AI would come up with ideas that humans might not have thought of. In that sense, the team would use AI like a sounding board.
 
AI can have good ideas or help, but it takes people willing to try ideas for themselves in action and their mindset of quality to finish the idea.
