Canadian developer Panache Digital, co-founded by Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets, continues to employ AI tools in the development of their witch-themed action game 1666: Amsterdam, but at a decreasing rate. The controversy surrounding the game's playable prologue, which featured AI-generated elements, led to an apology from Panache and a promise that AI would not be used in the final product.
Speaking at a preview event, Désilets clarified that while AI was used during the game's development, the studio has minimized its use due to the availability of human alternatives. Despite the controversy, Désilets emphasized that AI is ubiquitous, noting that even searching for information online requires AI assistance.
