For this, it has included, among others, Hocking, who commented on his experience regarding this<strong>. &#8220;It was brutal. ChatGPT sucks. It doesn&#8217;t know how to program. Everything was broken,&#8221; the director stated about his experience using AI tools<\/strong>. He affirmed that &#8220;it was mostly me trying to debug code without knowing how to program code,&#8221; acknowledging that &#8220;in a way, I have learned to program despite ChatGPT.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tr\u00e1iler ASSASSIN&amp;apos;S CREED CODENAME HEXE, el juego M\u00c1S OSCURO de la saga\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1daXfMfNMgI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/ubisoft-introduce-la-ia-dentro-del-flujo-de-trabajo-de-sus-videojuegos-pero-se-le-escapa-en-la-version-final-de-uno-de-sus-juegos-y-se-lia-la-marimorena\">This seems to align with Ubisoft&#8217;s recent experience with AI<\/a>. The company has been working on the possibility of introducing generative technologies into its process, but it seems that it hasn&#8217;t worked. <strong>People within the company have even claimed that they don&#8217;t use AI because &#8220;the results are crap,&#8221; suggesting that the idea at Ubisoft is that AI is far from delivering optimal results for making video games<\/strong>. If it ever becomes capable of doing so. <\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That doesn&#8217;t mean that all video game companies agree. <strong>Many other studios, like Larian, developers of the acclaimed Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3, are looking for ways to integrate it into their workflow<\/strong>. So it seems that we are going to encounter a lot of news of this kind in the future. Even if no one seems to find real useful applications for AI.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clint Hocking is the director of Far Cry 2 and was the director of the upcoming Assassin&#8217;s Creed, Assassin&#8217;s Creed Hexe, until a few weeks ago.
