Warhammer Designer Criticizes AI, Supports Games Workshop’s Ban
- Jervis Johnson, a key figure behind Warhammer, compared AI to “the asbestos of the internet.”
- Games Workshop banned generative AI from its design processes in January.
- The company reported $422 million in revenue for the half-year ending November.
- Johnson argues that AI could hinder developers by promoting laziness and reducing creative effort.
Games Workshop, a major player in tabletop gaming, has taken a firm stance against using generative AI in its creative processes, citing concerns about its impact on genuine creativity and developer diligence.
Johnson supports this policy, emphasizing that true creative work requires human effort and cautioning against relying on AI for high-end projects. (Source)
