Also if you are gonna steal art for your pitch deck, which is admittedly a time-honored tradition, nobody cares if you do it the old-fashioned and eco friendly way: Google Image Search.

None of them need to ask ChatGPT - or anyone - for ideas! That’s not the fuckin‘ problem here. Time and technology are the problem. But ChatGPT can’t solve those problems either!

I do not get the assertion that AI is good for ”generating ideas”. All the content and systems designers I know have ideas coming out of their eyeballs. Entire design documents for features that nobody asked for. Backstory plot twists and synergies soaked in their very souls!

It's the same twisted impulse that makes them sing, "Do You Hear The People Sing?" and think it's about them.

Besides which he is literally damaging his own ability to understand and communicate in English every time he does this. Instead of thinking or engaging when he writes he is lazy/sloppy because he trusts the machine will polish shit for him.

He's atrophying his own linguistic ability.

It makes it worse actually because it seems with context, they know they aren't seeing uses from genAI but they're forcing it anyway and hoping something happens

also i know many MANY ESL writers who still write on their own merits in English and have human proofreaders check over it and they still don't use chatGPT

Yeah. But so many artists in our industry were the first adopters and experimenters with GenAI. In the early days it was just a tool. And I think for a lot of devs, it still is and they don't have the same ethical concerns. They may not know there even are ethical concerns.

In a world where Gen AI wasn't being trained on copywrited works without consent, data centers weren't causing ecological harm and inflating the cost of electricity and tech CEOs weren't looking for ways to replace their workers with it, these would be entirely valid uses of AI imo.

So its okay to support Data Centres that poison and damage communities if it helps your grammar slightly? How did people ever manage? 🙄

So, he's pushing for AI, even though isn't helping at all, because of the possibility, that maybe, somehow, possibly, they will find a great use for it that no one has found yet? Or I'm missing something?

Because if it's that, this looks like he fell for a scam and doesn't want to admit it.

Not just AAA development, but remember, "Never meet your heroes" is a good thing to keep in the back of your mind whenever someone is put on a pedestal.

Or y'know, Larian shouldn't have a stance that makes you think less of them.

I am not sharing this transcript because I think it will make anyone view Larian's stance on genAI any differently; I'm sharing it so people can see all the context and judge for themselves if they feel that Larian's position was misrepresented by my story
