The New York Times (via Eurogamer) recently revealed that Blizzard will soon develop an AI art generation tool for use in video game production. An internal email sent to Blizzard staff earlier this year called the tool “Blizzard Diffusion,” a play on the image-generating tool “Stable Diffusion.” The difference is that Blizzard Diffusion is trained on Blizzard art, so you can recreate Blizzard’s distinct style.

It may also be used to create “in-games”. NPC” or “Procedural Assist Level Design”. It’s also possible that other versions of Blizzard Diffusion could help with “voice cloning,” “game coding,” and “anti-toxicity” features similar to how Xbox’s moderation AI is used.

Ubisoft seems less interested in AI art and more interested in dialogue and text generation. At his GDC San Francisco earlier this year, Ubisoft unveiled a “ghostwriter” AI. This is a language model intended to help writers create bark, background lines, and text for the user’s interface. Ubisoft said very cautiously that ghostwriters are not meant to replace real writers, nor are they used to write movies, lore or character backstories, but they are currently progressing. As far as judging the writers strike inside, not everyone is convinced it will always be.

Not everyone uses AI in game creation. Xbox uses AI as part of its automatic player moderation, which can be very helpful in combating player toxicity. In its latest transparency report, Xbox says its AI has increased “policing” by 450%, removing vulgar content and allowing humans to determine if players need warnings or bans for bad behavior. indicated that the
