Can confirm. I’ve only worked at one studio where we had AI rammed down our throats and it came directly and solely from the CEO. Everyone else hated it and recognized it as the dreck it was. It’s almost like we should stop letting the worst people run things or something.
"All major game studios are using generative AI" the fact this is a lie aside, the ones that are using it aren't doing so willingly. It's meddling managers and CEOs with no understanding or attachment to game development forcing it on devs who end up not using anything it outputs anyway.

Doing some edits all day to lower word count and saved it. Then went to open the doc again and none of it saved.
To make matters worse I had deleted the notes I used for those edits so now I have nothing. 🙃

Had another agent who requested more sample pages after the initial query. Just got the rejection today. They liked my story but have to be really selective. So, a good rejection.
That’s 31 out of 95. 63 more to go!

I concur. FUCK AI!!!
“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement.
After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

The burning desire to bark about a plot I've had in the works for Dhrui, Abelas, and a few other characters. The absolute chaos and bastardry that's going to unfold in Ouroboros after the Winter Palace *burning elmo gif*

Got a rejection bc high word count, BUT they’re open to review it if lower to industry standard for a debut. Only idk if Adult Fantasy standard is 115k or 120k.😬
120k from 128k is already daunting. I’ve managed to cut 1.5k already. 🫠🫠 #querying #iamquerying #query #querytrenches

1. I was so grateful to Alex Cooper for having Dr. Jane Goodall on Call Her Daddy earlier this year which brought Dr. Goodall’s life’s work and example to millions of young women who might have heard of her, or recognized her, but may not have known of the depth of her contribution.
