I have a lot of respect and love for Larian, and I'm devastated to hear AI use in their production pipeline. But more than that I'm just disappointed in Swen. He should know better. He has shown in the past he *does* know better.

Luke very validly has quotes muted - but I wanted to also add that if you look to other posts by this company they seem to have a fundamental (and seemingly willfull) misunderstanding of AI.

There's an absolutely lifeless nature to the dialogue, plot, and overall stakes to the new season of Stranger Things it's actually shocking. I'll stick it through cus I'm this far, but I'm not loving this final outing so far.
