Giant Interactive Group and Baidu’s AI team have worked together to produce China’s first AI-developed mobile game character called “Space Shark.” The AI image is created using the same technology behind the search giant’s ChatGPT alternative ERNIE Bot. Baidu’s Wenxin large model team was responsible for the training, generation, and in-depth optimization of this AI image, while Giant’s team handled the overall planning and in-game development.

The AI image is being used in the online game Super Sus: Who is the Impostor, which was developed by Giant. Super Sus allows users to create their own rules and add user-generated content, such as new skins and imagery. The integration of AI technology in the game character development process enables the game to have more advanced features and capabilities that were not possible before.

The collaboration between Giant and Baidu is a clear indication of the increasing integration of AI technology into the gaming industry. By using AI technology to create game characters, gaming companies can save on labor costs and reduce manufacturing costs while also increasing efficiency. Moreover, AI technology can enhance the game experience for users and provide opportunities for new revenue streams.

With the success of “Space Shark,” we can expect to see more gaming companies embracing AI technology in the development of game characters and other aspects of game production. The partnership between Giant and Baidu is a step towards a more innovative and efficient gaming industry, with exciting possibilities for the future.
