Peter Molyneux speaks candidly about AI: 'We, as the industry, are pretending we're not using AI, but the reality is, it's almost impossible to code now without using AI'

Legendary developer Peter Molyneux believes the game industry is actively pretending not to use AI, despite it being nearly impossible to code without it. He notes that public perception of AI has been negatively impacted by early, flawed generative models, leading to platforms like Steam requiring developers to disclose AI usage. Molyneux argues that AI is a significant advancement for creativity, especially for smaller studios, and will become deeply integrated into middleware like Unity and Unreal Engine within a year.
