Hideo Kojima and the Silent Hill Producer Clash Over AI’s Role in Gaming — The Genius Backs Automation

Hideo Kojima considers artificial intelligence a “friend”.

Hideo Kojima champions the use of artificial intelligence in game development. The visionary argues that AI tools can free developers from repetitive, routine work, enabling them to focus on imaginative and creative efforts.

Producer Motoi Okamoto of the Silent Hill series vehemently disagrees. He has stated that Silent Hill f could not have been produced with AI. Okamoto points out that, while AI might generate concepts for sequels, it lacks the capacity to make bold creative decisions—such as shifting the setting to 1960s Japan or enlisting the renowned horror novelist Ryukishi07.
