In May 2024, Wizards of the Coast advertised for a "Principal AI Engineer" to build AI systems that could generate dialogue, audio, artwork, and character behaviors for future video games. WotC stated the role was specifically for video game projects, not for its tabletop card or roleplaying games.

The job listing sought a senior engineer to develop "intelligent generation of text dialog, audio, art assets, NPC behaviors" for upcoming WotC video game titles, including a game by Archetype Entertainment called Exodus and an unannounced D&D-universe AAA video game. When fans raised concerns, WotC told press: "Our stance on AI hasn't changed. This job description is for a role for future video game projects." The posting was published around the same time as an update to WotC's anti-AI contributor policy for its tabletop lines, creating confusion about the company's overall position. The distinction between video game AI and tabletop AI use has remained a point of community scrutiny.
