While we were discussing the game’s art, it felt like a good time to ask Scronce and Miller about the future of generative AI in Black Ops. Black Ops 6 came under considerable fire for its use of generative AI in event rewards and as part of bundles. To the point that Steam’s policy on disclosing the use of AI in games led to Activision confirming its reliance on the nascent tech.
Miller jumps in to quickly reiterate that “All of our stuff is touched by people” when I bring up the topic of generative AI. He dances around the topic like a pro, but his body language makes it clear this isn’t really a topic of discussion he wants to linger on.
