idk man those sound like really bad ideas even before we decide how to categorise it
As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

have they heard of "reduce your scope"
NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Everyone is more or less okay with it” dude you make people emigrate to work there because you don’t do remote work, they risk having to change countries if they disagree with it

then count them
One thing to add to this good piece, for the games example in particular: it is hard to justify the existing practice of labelling games "made with" AI and not count people using AI to write code in that definition www.ft.com/content/bab5...
Is the ‘Made by AI’ label pointless?
The experience of the video game industry suggests transparency about AI use won’t be straightforward

remember you don't have to rely on frame-by-frame devlog analysis to figure out tech art techniques if you have a graphics debugger handy. renderdoc is your frienderdoc!
a lovely snippet from our latest episode which shows the importance of developers sharing their creative process.
Without @obsidianent.bsky.social showing their work via devlogs, we may never have gotten the beautiful isometric world of Disco Elysium.

Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!
