Take-Two says GTA 6 was built with zero generative AI
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says generative AI played zero part in building GTA 6, calling Rockstar's worlds handcrafted building by building. GTA 6 has well over 600,000 NPC animations, roughly twice Red Dead Redemption 2's 300,000 and more than ten times GTA 5's 55,000. Every asset was made by human artists, and NPCs are individually art directed rather than procedurally mixed. Take-Two still uses AI for testing and internal productivity, just not to create the game itself.
