The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

"Yeah, Google's AI overview may not always be right, but at least that AI burns a ton of resources to compile everything in an easy overview so I don't have to click links which may be wrong, too"

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

*Even if* gen AI excelled at tasks
*Even if* gen AI had abuse-guardrails
*Even if* gen AI helped the environment & medicine
It’s still built on scraping the world’s creative labour without consent.
Gen AI is poisoned at the root.

It seems there are exactly two kinds of stories about generative AI:
1) wildly exuberant stories about what this stuff will do sometime really soon (trust us!), and
2) stories like this about how some actual use of gen AI fails fantastically
oh, wait, I forgot:
3) gen AI is pretty good at fraud

“Internal tests found that the AI was generating podcasts riddled with errors and bias, with anywhere between 68 and 84 percent of the scripts deemed unpublishable by evaluators across three rounds of testing.”

I hope there's enough pushback that Vincke reconsiders his position. I would really like to enjoy the great work all the devs at Larian are doing without upper management forcing this unnecessary shit into their workflow.

I’m reading from the devs they dont use GenAi to develop concept art, tho they use it for references?
Good to know the use of GenAi isn’t as expansive as the article described and that Concept Artists are the ones developing works. But I’d avoid its use in references too. Its not needed i promise!😭

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Anyway, the company is purely suits now, there are no artists with power left at the top and no standards remaining. There is no driving through-line.
One can scoff at the old family friendly image, the old Disney Quality myth, but at least it was an identity; something they strove towards.
