I dunno who needs to hear this but using AI at your Early Concept phase, or for ideation, is literally the worst place to deploy it
It isn't creative, what it does is hand back tropes. That's what the model does: sift for likely responses to an input
It's like building your foundation out of memes

Creative industry has been maimed by technofascists and their marauding yes-men.
My friends are losing formerly stable jobs.
The AI bubble decimated the PC market.
And indie storytelling is on life support because we are in a self-imposed recession.
The Creator economy is dead.
Shit is dire.

terminator 2 is science fiction bordering on fantasy like star wars except instead of the mystical force it's because it implausibly imagined a near future where someone in tech realized their well-funded work on AI would ruin civilization and then he gave a shit

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

The good news is that we don't need to read the report. Voters hate the party and we hate the leadership. The country is literally coming apart at the seams and we blame you. Entirely. Hide all you want, we know who's at fault. And we know who the consultants are. You're fucked. I promise.
