The tool will handle repetitive tasks such as phrases and sounds uttered by NPCs during triggered events, freeing up writers to focus on more important aspects of the script. However, the announcement has been met with criticism from some in the industry who argue that editing AI-generated scripts would be more time-consuming than writing their own dialogue.

However, some in the field prefer bad lines written entirely by humans over optimized lines originally written by a machine.
