Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it

Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

Absolutely stellar article by @riorobayo.bsky.social that beautifully describes a challenge I've certainly struggled with over the last year in particular - having to be constantly 'on the lookout' for undisclosed AI usage saps joy from engaging with games, films, media in general. Great stuff
There’s also the issue of trust. When I engage with something that I know used generative AI in its creation, it makes me approach it in a state of tense hyper-vigilance, constantly examining the text and art to uncover where AI may have slipped in. Being told a video game was made with only “0.3%” LLM use is like being handed a glass of water that “only has” a single drop of urine in it. No matter how diluted it is, and how much you assure me the glass is mostly fresh water, I won’t feel comfortable drinking it—let alone trust you on the actual piss-to-water ratio.
