Conflating machine learning tools with GenAI and LLMs are such a favorite of these bad faith arguments, too. Like, machines studying X-rays to better understand cancer is not the same thing as Open AI swallowing all my books via piracy to regurgitate sentences that sound similar. It's just not.

It's reassuring to know that I'm leaving IGN game reviews in good hands with @tomrmarks.bsky.social and the rest of our excellent team. After being there this long, I'm looking forward to seeing what changes some new leadership will bring.

I dig this chart from Rhys Elliott over at MIDiA looking at preferences across age groups. Quite a wild swing between the Youngs and the Olds.
