Title: Half-Life 2 writer: Valve devs quietly testing generative AI for game writing
Post by: Redaktion on March 27, 2026, 05:32:17
Half-Life 2 and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw says a small group at Valve is quietly experimenting with generative AI tools, though he argues the technology remains "pretty bad" at creative writing and isn't a near-term threat to human authors. He suggests AI may be more useful for improving real-time, reactive NPC dialogue systems, while emphasizing Valve's efforts are informal and exploratory rather than a company-wide initiative.
