What a bummer to see this from Vincke. People do not need AI to do any of that shit. Even the smallest, most repetitive, and annoying bits of the creative process are important. Replacing them with plagairism undermines everything that comes after.

Wonder if Valve secured the Steam Machine components before things went from bad to apocalyptic. If so they might have the only halfway affordable gaming PC for quite a while
