I wont delete what i said, because i feel its rude but i apologize, I am mad, i am upset, and @thetruesammu.bsky.social is right i should calm down some. Time can cause you to forget how much is there at a point and how quickly its moved. It was under development for a long time before.
Just as a reminder as the story twists:
The CEO Of Larian is the issue, not the average employee. He even admits there has been a ton of pushback against his forced AI policies.
No, BG3 was not made with AI. AI hasn't been around that long, it just feels like it because it is EVERYWHERE now.

BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

This is what RFK Jr. is making happen. And I wrote about this in 2009, after a baby in Australia died of pertussis; I wrote about her many times and eventually met her parents when I visited Oz. It was heartbreaking, but I was proud they became strong vaccine advocates.

Quantic Foundry does legit trustworthy analysis of gamer behaviour, and these survey results are shockingly negative toward genAI, to the point where I’m more hopeful that data driven mobile and AAA backpedals on their uses.
everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most.
