Okay, here’s the article rewritten:

So, there’s this new game popping up from InXile Entertainment—something called Clockwork Revolution. Steampunk vibes, first-person RPG, all that jazz. The brain behind it, Brian Fargo, shared a chat with this YouTuber dude, MrMattyPlays. Something about his career journey and the hot mess topics everyone in gaming seems to be talking about—AI and LLM stuff. You know, Microsoft is sinking $80 billion into it, like a bottomless coffee cup. Anyway, what’s InXile doing with all this fancy tech? “Oh, for some things, yes. But I’m obsessed with what’s ethical here,” Fargo mumbles. Totally worried about, like, people losing jobs and stuff.
Fargo’s not new to this. I mean, back in the ’80s he was fiddling with games that shaped the industry. Think The Bard’s Tale and Wasteland—pretty influential, right? He’s musing about AI tools like ChatGPT. Could they help without ripping off other artists? Imagine having a script the size of a biblical tome. No one’s memorizing that. So, maybe an AI pokes around: “How many times did [who-even-is-this] speak?” Stuff like that. Handy, right?
It’s kinda wild how he uses generative AI. Inspiration-wise, it’s like his version of an art gallery stroll or a Deviant Art binge. But for the big league production? Nope, only the pro stuff makes the cut. Oh, and AI tidying up those glitchy motion captures or filling in quick dialogue lines when actors can’t swing by? Perfect. As long as they’re cool with it and get some extra cash. Funny, sounds like what those SAG-AFTRA folks settled for after all that striking.
“So, can we let AI handle the boring bits no one wants?” Fargo wonders aloud. Seriously, who enjoys policing punctuation marks? Imagine setting creative minds free to jazz up scenes instead. Way cooler, right? Though he’s not using it for that, yet. Just dreaming, I guess.
The guy isn’t completely anti-AI, unlike some game devs foaming at the mouth over it. But he’s not all in, either, like Microsoft’s crew. CEO Satya Nadella’s out there bragging about AI penning 30% of their code. Plus, he’s got, like, digital helpers getting him through his day. They’re even trying AI to hallucinate gameplay. Yeah, you heard that right. An AI buddy for Xbox is already being toyed with on PCs.
Wild times in gaming, huh?
