It'd go a long way to avoid press blunders if CEOs would stop conflating automated and procedural tools (which have been used for years in game dev) with genAI.
Using the former to justify the latter is not a defensible position. Devs who benefit from such tools aren't "generally ok" with AI.

Yeah. So at this point a company coming out and saying they use genAI is neither disappointing or surprising. I’m just so tired.
Why would you need to use genAI for placeholder text. How many articles do you think there will be of forgotten genAI assets post launch?

"More or less okay with the way we're using it" is just manufactured consent from the guy who has the power to fire all these people in the worst games industry job market that has ever existed

I don't know why the idea of developing concept art with AI is somehow meant to convince us that AI isn't replacing creative professions, when concept art is one of the single most creative and imaginative parts of the entire development process.

So 'placeholder' content often ends up in the finished product, but my problem with genAI is not just "I don't want to see it directly", it's involving it at all.
"I plagiarised a bunch of other novels to create mine but don't worry I heavily edited it so you can't tell any more" okay bud

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

A synopsis breakdown of the rest of the outline for the Hooked Queen pirate siblings fic I haven't updated in 4 years. I couldn't finish writing it, but I'm proud of what I planned for this story to be and wanted to share it.

AI made their stupid fucking commercial.
You are no artist if ”writing prompts” is your idea of hard creative work. What you are is a fucking imbecile and a hack. What you are is someone so unable to create you’re straining yourself at the inspiration stage aka the 1% of effort that goes into it.

It says a lot that AI “artists” are so creatively bankrupt they think writing prompts is a difficult, arduous task.
You realize coming up with a prompt is what a real artist would call “having an idea,” right?
It took them weeks of sleepless nights to have some basic thoughts.
