Ubisoft has sparked debate by showing off its new Ghostwriter tool, an “AI” designed to aid its writers create dialogue for in-game NPCs.
Ghostwriter was demoed on stage at GDC this week by Ubisoft researcher Ben Swanson, who stated the tool was designed for use with background dialogue, barks (generic lines from NPCs triggered by the player), and descriptions for the game’s user interface.
According to Game Developer, which attended the GDC session, Swanson described the tool as like a “30,000-sided die” which could be rolled to build sentences based on an initial input combined with a modifier, with machine learning built in to ensure responses varied.
