Mihoyo CEO Use AI Technology in His New Games

The CEO of Mihoyo, Cai Haoyu, has recently expressed strong support for the use of AI in video game development, and the gaming community has reacted positively to his stance. Cai Haoyu has launched a new video game company called Anuttacon, which has already opened the closed beta for their new game, Whispers from the Stars.

What sets this game apart is its clear embrace of AI technology. In fact, the game’s official YouTube account openly acknowledged that AI played a role in creating some of its content. For example, in the comment section of a promotional video, a user praised the game’s AI-generated graphics.

In response, the game dev confirmed that while the visuals were trailer video is not AI generated, the game’s dialogue was AI-enhanced, making it more dynamic and engaging. One of the standout features of the game is its voice acting, which has impressed many viewers. The voices, which are enhanced by AI, have been described as captivating, with some even calling the experience “amazing.”

Many Mihoyo employees are directly involved in the development of Whispers from the Stars, which has helped ensure the project maintains a high level of quality. Despite the overall positive reception, there is some ongoing debate about the use of AI, particularly in replacing real voice actors. While some gamers are excited by the innovation, others are concerned about the future of human talent in the gaming industry.

Overall, Whispers from the Stars is shaping up to be a unique project that highlights the potential of AI in gaming, but it also raises important questions about the role of artificial intelligence in the creative process.
