CEO Denies AI Involvement in Silent Hill: Ascension
Hey gamers, exciting news! The CEO of Genvid Holdings, Jacob Navrok, has just addressed the rumors swirling around the highly criticized game, Silent Hill: Ascension. There were whispers that this live service gaming collaboration between Genvid and Konami was created with the help of AI software. But Navrok is setting the record straight and rejecting these claims outright.
Navrok took to Twitter to make his statement, declaring, “Every word in Ascension was written by real people, many of whom have long-running careers in writing, including Telltale titles, Pixar titles, [God of War] Ragnarok, Resident Evil Village, and more. Across our 100,000+ words, zero are authored by LLMs or AI, and all are from the dedicated work of a talented team.” So, rest assured, fellow gamers, Silent Hill: Ascension is a product of human creativity and expertise.
The Curious Case of AI in Silent Hill: Ascension
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Speculation about AI involvement in creative projects is all too common these days, especially when the end result falls short of expectations. And in the case of Silent Hill: Ascension, fans had their doubts, particularly due to some odd moments in the game. One such moment was the recently dubbed “berry man,” who sparked the conversation and ultimately led to Genvid Holdings’ response.
But here’s where things get interesting. Through some online sleuthing, fans found some evidence that kept the AI theory alive. Navrok himself tweeted that all of the company’s future projects would be using AI characters. And to add fuel to the fire, Genvid’s Chief Creative Officer participated in a panel and hosted a talk at this year’s Simulations Summit, an AI-focused tech event. Intriguing, isn’t it?
The Truth Behind the Speculation
Let’s dive deeper into this mystery. In a recent interview with Vulture, Navrok shed some light on the situation. He revealed that while AI was initially considered for the Ascension project, it didn’t meet their expectations during testing. In fact, one Genvid staff member described the experience as “lynchian.” As a result, AI’s involvement in Silent Hill: Ascension was reportedly scrapped.
So, what’s the real story here? Truth be told, we can’t say for certain to what extent AI has been used internally at Genvid or in Silent Hill: Ascension. However, it’s clear that Genvid, as a creator of massively interactive online events (MILES), is actively exploring the potential of AI for future projects, even if it wasn’t utilized in Ascension. It’s worth noting that Navrok’s denial of AI involvement only applies to the writing in Silent Hill: Ascension. This could be a direct response to the current speculation, or it might indicate that AI is being used elsewhere in the game.
AI and the Current Social Media Landscape
Let’s face it, fellow gamers, accusations of AI involvement in written works are rampant in today’s social media landscape. Whether justified or not, it’s become a common occurrence. Just look at various television shows, websites, and other media experiences that have faced allegations of AI-generated content.
So, what’s your take on Silent Hill: Ascension? Do you believe AI has played a role in its creation? The decision is yours to make, my friends. Now that you know the whole story, I’m curious to hear your thoughts. Does the possibility of AI usage, if true, impact your opinion of the game? Let us know!
