Forgot to say on quest personalization, it could also accommodate roelplay preferences for the quests.

I believe one way or another AI will be used for dialogue. Maybe not in this game or current games, but in the future i believe this will be a default feature.

100% this.

AI is coming for everything. It feels inevitable at this point. It’s improving at a ridiculous pace year after year.

But while we still have a choice, I’d much rather support artists, writers, and other creatives and keep that work human, instead of handing even more of it over to AI.

AI generated dialog/speech would be awesome actually, and could be turned to the player characters persona.

Hopefully it would be stated plainly and look obvious enough to notice so can plan my time for ESO differently.

I'd like to see a convincing example of this slop receiving good use in other games first.

Disgusting

Well if you actually use AI as a toolset, which is actually what it is and use it to enhance the writing process, which you can do then that would be fine. If the idea is "well AI can write all our quests so lets ditch the writers" then no. If you have a writer saying here are alternate lines or here's a premise now respond to a player based on their character, achievements etc, that is a nice idea but you need a human writer to say that actually makes sense. Treat AI as a toolset and an enthusiastic intern, sure, treat it as a replacement for a human, no.

The only way I would want to see AI used is to make some of the dialogues feel more alive and less scripted. Writers would still write, but they can't account for every variation.

No. Absolutely not.

Can that stupid bubble pop already? It would be nice if RAM prices went back into the “reasonable” territory. How are current-gen consoles more expensive than they were are release?!

Oh, and let’s not forget a little thing like the literal destruction of the environment.

Human art for humans.

procedurally generated quests would be one thing but AI generated? get lost!
If ZOS were to do this, there's no way in hell I'd spend another cent on this game!!!

The day AI gets implemented in this game is the day I cancel my subscription and stop playing. It would be nice if the devs could make a strong statement against AI like the Warframe devs did, so that we know where they stand and so that these kinds of threads can be abolished on these forums. Get out of here, shilling for corporate tech-bro soulless slop and the death of true human art. "It's a compelling case", don't make me laugh.

Is ESO art the way it is right now?

How long until ESO uses AI quests?

Game lands are expensive to develop, and fixed quests are expensive to develop. So now, the game design is, spend a lot to make a zone, have one fixed set of quests, you do them, and you're basically 'done' with the zone for questing, which is the main activity for a zone.

AI is now able to generate unique quests and stories for your character, to personalize them, say to your class, to your game history, and to create AI voicing for them, all very cheaply.

It's a move to essentially unlimited re-use of zones and unlimited replayabiliity.

It's a compelling case as a huge increase in content for players and cost reduction for the game. How long until they decide to do it?

NO, just no.

First off, quality is far more important than quantitywhen it comes to questing in any TES game. Ai slop will not only make tons of errors but it will also hallucinate bits of lore that are not there. This would be really bad epically when the lore is already so vast and convoluted. It needs to be carefully tended to like a giant rock garden not gone at with a bulldozer and a bunch of invasive plant seeds. Not everything can be explained by a dragon break.

Second, where are you getting the idea that Ai is cheap? It is not at all. The cost of using these services is currently somewhat inexpensive but to constantly make calls to these models gets rather expensive very quickly. In addition to that the prices for these services will go up a huge amount in the next year or two as the mad frenzy of investor money starts to slow down or dry up as investors realize these companies are not actually turning a profit. Google that if you don't believe me. This is entirely ignoring the social and environmental cost of running these models at all. They are largely unpopular among the general public, the data centers are just bad for everyone, and there are ethical and moral issues with how the models are trained. The impacts of the data centers alone are very noticeable, the water in the communities they are in is greatly effected (tons of news stories on this one), and have you looked at RAM prices recently (or GPU prices?).

Let's not do this, and say we never wanted to because it is a horrible idea that will go poorly. Look up some of the games that have tried to do something like this or ones that have even just used Ai assets...the backlash alone is enough to tell you it is not a good idea.

let the artist build the Lego and let the Ai put it together, it could get all the lore and make a better story in seconds.
