We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Here is another post in which I beg game devs not to sell their IP/allow studios to make adaptations without them. I am *so happy* to talk to any devs currently in this process!
Video games are incredible, your stories are incredible. Adapting them is a gift to the world, not the other way around.

Even as a tiny channel I’ve noticed this too, gotta love it 🫠
Idk what dial YouTube turned but they definitely did something. Viewership is inexplicably down around 30% for myself and many channels I watch/follow. I've never blamed the algorithm for anything in my 10 years on YT, but this is too obvious to ignore. Spoken to others who have noticed it, too.
