Warhorse Studios confirms AI use in early production and hires human translators

In a Reddit AMA, the Czech Kingdom Come developer said no AI-generated content appears in final games and linked the row to allegations translator Max H. was laid off to cut costs.
Warhorse said replacing that employee involved internal HR matters it would not discuss, while stressing AI is used only by some staff in early development and not as a substitute for people.
The dispute follows wider games-industry concern that generative AI could eliminate jobs, even as many major studios acknowledge using such tools in parts of production.
Will Warhorse Studios' promise to use only human translators for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II survive industry pressures and AI cost savings?
Can AI-assisted localization ever match the nuance and cultural depth provided by human translators, or is 'creative hollowing' inevitable in gaming?
