Using ChatGPT to facilitate certain tasks is very simple, but sometimes that says a lot about the implication what you have with a video game. In this case, the news is related to The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, a title that has failed miserably to the point that its developer, Daedalic Entertainment, has made the decision to don’t make more video games.
The latest thing that has come to light is that ChatGPT was used to write Gollum’s apology text. This has become known because some former Daedalic Entertainment employees spoke for the first time after the debacle. The creators of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum apologized to fans a few months ago in a statement dedicated to the communitybut now it is said that this text was written by artificial intelligence.
Two authorized sources have told GameTwo that It was Nacon who took care of it and not Daedalic, because they were not aware of it either. Aside from this, some statements have come out that show that Gollum was a game doomed to failure from the first moment. The project budget was only 15 million eurosa very low figure for a triple A (via VGC).
