Larian CEO Swen Vincke responds to generative AI backlash from fans

Recent discussion sparked around the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 and their use of AI tools, particularly after their announcement of a new Divinity game at last week’s Game Awards. Larian Studios’ creative director, Simon Vincke, responded to reports with a detailed social media post, strongly stating they aren’t trying to replace artists with AI. He clarified that they hire artists for their skills, but allow them to explore AI tools to potentially simplify their workflow. Essentially, AI is being used as a helper, not a replacement.
