So, I had this idea back in September that I would embark on a 12 month project in 2025.

Basically, I am going to be taking inspiration from 12 different female artists and making a final piece inspired by them

And I’ve made a blog to document my process!

I know the Larian thing was not particularly about voice acting but it does seem especially egregious to dive into AI bullshit when I’ve seen roughly 1000 videos of the Baldur’s Gate voice actors reading their favorite lines or doing Let’s Plays or generally being incredible ambassadors for the game

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

The whole inevitability angle is a lie because not only did people NOT LIKE 3D or Curved Televisions (PC monitors are a little different), we also didnt like that weird framerate THE HOBBIT was filmed on, Google Glass, the Virtual Boy, the Dreamcast, NFT's, Windows Vista, the list goes on!

"AI usage in games isn't going anywhere. That will be $80 per game + $700 on hardware, please."
Video game hardware US sales this November (peak period for Xmas) were the lowest since *1995*.

This record low makes sense given the continued Xbox sales crash and PS5's 5th year, but lower Nintendo sales than last year despite SW2 launch is not great.

half the time I hear lesser things AI is good for (powerpoints and emails) it's like.... the lesson should be the things you're doing are useless and performative, not that you need a machine to fake the useless and performative shit!!!

As an artist it has been pretty disheartening to see so many people gloss over the genAI issue here. Especially wild when it seemed like we had all also collectively agreed that the game awards is just a giant farce anyway.
E33 using Gen AI and winning GOTY doesn’t mean it’s ok now just like stealing and getting away with it doesn’t make stealing ok I feel like that should be obvious

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.

"I can't afford a visual artist"

So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?

Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

I sure do love getting a dozen Copilot "code reviews" everytime I push up to GitHub that I have to waste time looking at before inevitably dismissing. Not a complete waste of time whatsoever 😒

Everyone is more or less okay with it” dude you make people emigrate to work there because you don’t do remote work, they risk having to change countries if they disagree with it

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

And as so many pros have pointed out, ugly clip art and Lorem ipsum are such obvious placeholders that there's no chance of them staying in the finished piece, barring wild sloppiness.

But "Whoops, left in a placeholder!" is great backside-covering for people caught using AI.
how can you be so lazy to need generative AI for placeholder text??? Just fucking use Lorem ipsum???

And for the concept art? Fuck off
NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Harlequin France is canceling contracts with translators to use AI.

Publishers rushing to cut their own feet off befuddles me.

Faites tourner, parce qu'il va falloir se battre encore plus. :/
