Josef Fares Questions Generative AI's Game Takeover

Josef Fares, founder of Hazelight Studios and director of It Takes Two, told Christopher Dring in a recent The Game Business interview that while developers have long used AI tools, he is skeptical about generative AI fully taking over game creation. Fares cited Midjourney's limited progress over five years, emphasized the need for a human 'vision or idea,' and noted debate after Nintendo clarified a 'My Mario' image did not use AI.
