The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation.

The story has since been amended, but the damage has been done. You can search out the current version if you want, but here’s the original.

I dunno who needs to hear this but using AI at your Early Concept phase, or for ideation, is literally the worst place to deploy it

It isn't creative, what it does is hand back tropes. That's what the model does: sift for likely responses to an input

It's like building your foundation out of memes

1/5 Seeing some tech/ai slop accounts online claiming that AI has always been used in games, pretending GenAi is a part of that, when its absolutely not.

Yes, AI has always been a part of games in: NPC behaviors, Data Mining, PCG’s (Procedural Content Generation) etc

All different from GenAi!

easy to feel demoralised seeing all these game company CEOs talking about genAI but remember a bunch of rich people will lose a lot if we don’t suddenly develop an unquenchable appetite for slop so they’re actually the ones on the back foot and have every incentive to lie about everything

Well, for a few days, I'll just be blunt and direct when it comes to my situation: I lost both of my jobs, haven't found a new one, and next month the bank is going to fuck me over if I don't pay at least something.

Any help is appreciated...! #TransCrowdfund #MutualAid

Generative AI is a poison that kills everything it touches all so people who are already rich get to be richer while you have to be poorer
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.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Kazuo Umezu believed children were more adaptable than adults in horrific situations because adults have rigid views of reality & break when those conceptions are shattered.

And, perhaps, that's why it'll never happen. I don't have the ambition required to step on others for the sake of capitalism. I can't do that.

This is to say, I don't want to be rich — I just want to be wealthy enough that I can hire the struggling homies to make sure they're not struggling and can create without fear.

I have so many talented people on my bsky feed looking for jobs and if I were a bit richer I'd hire them to help me. It really sucks being paid poverty wages to do something incredibly important for large numbers of people's survival.

I realize, of course, that the disgusting process of extruding raw thought into grammar ("writing") often reveals the contents of one's skull as a foetid mass of unresolved trauma and resentment. Nevertheless, I feel I should receive temporary immunity when volunteering to write a 500-word essay.

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages."

Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder.

I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

One thing that is very daunting about writing a vn is dialogue. I have written a lot of Warframe fanfic, but dialogue is different between combatants and between civilians. I'm afraid it will result in my psychological horror being too naval gazey.

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."
