I appreciate that even Games Workshop, the company behind the Grimdark Future of the 41st Millennium, doesn't see AI in theirs.
Warhammer maker Games Workshop has banned the use of AI in its content production and its design process, insisting that none of its senior managers are currently excited about the technology. https://bit.ly/49xT9Xl

When I was a kid, I got real upset that the gentile kids I _knew_ were awful all got gifts from Santa, while the kind Jewish kids (including myself, I admit I was that smug) didn't get anything.
My parents told me the truth, but also made me promise to not tell other kids that Santa wasn't real.
