The fun thing is that there's actually A LOT of these mega-obscure independent RPGs in the 90s & early 2000s.
Usually only sickos played them. But then again, these tend to be exactly the people who go on to make cool games lol

Other additions: a search by magazine and a still embryonic page on movie poster artists and VHS/DVD illustrators. Only film posters also used to illustrate video games are included for the moment, but I'll be adding to the artists' pages as I go along.

I've also added a page listing the profiles of female video game developers and artists that I've put online. The list is still short, but it will grow very soon.

Niveau enquête, si tu n'es pas allergique au mode texte et que tu n'avais pas prévu de dormir la nuit, tu peux essayer celui-là aussi, qui a poppé à l'improviste cette semaine et qui est vraiment chouette:

I really don't think I've ever seen a technology that is so singularly effective at taking a pre-existing form of rot or brokenness in institutions and lighting it on fire.

![don’t have much room to ponder over the result.” Even when time
was not constrained, knowledge workers often lacked incentives to
engage in critical thinking when it is perceived as not part of their
job responsibilities (11/319). P232, who used ChatGPT to write
the company’s marketing campaigns: “verification and rewriting is
handled by another part of the team. The team is able to verify, sense
check and modify the content of the landing pages as they see fit.”
Ability barriers. Participants face obstacles to enacting critical
thinking, specifically in verifying and improving GenAI output,
even if they are otherwise motivated to do so. Participants report
barriers to inspect AI responses (58/319), such as not possessing
enough domain knowledge. As P290 noted: “in cases where you
don’t know the specific topic [e.g., translation and math problems],
it’s hard to determine whether the AI is giving the correct answer or
not.”
Even if knowledge workers identify limitations in the GenAI
output, they encounter barriers in revising queries and improving the response (72/319). For example, P239 received negative
feedback from colleagues for a document that ChatGPT helped
her write, but “I’m not sure how I could have improved the text that
ChatGPT wrote.” Also, GenAI tools can be “stubborn” and do not
follow through with users’ revised prompts, as P208 shared when
asking GenAI to fix an error in his code: “it repeatedly recommended
the wrong solution despite asking for a different suggestion.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreieftxm3guillezg7poxpfj64qadrcg72rhyttu7nro3ws6ydu5vli@jpeg)

The whole paper is an absolute nightmare funfair ride through the behaviours that have become almost instantaneously widespread through the professional world - something Microsoft have invested billions into accelerating and worsening no matter the consequences.
![Integrate partial response (36/319). GenAI excels at generating
large amounts of information that appear relevant, and not all of it is
useful. Participants viewed the process of selectively incorporating
the relevant parts of GenAI output into their tasks as critical thinking. For example, when P188 used ChatGPT to help her summarise
her past work as an auditor for her resume: “some of the information
provided did not particularly relate to my role and even to the country
I was working in. So rather than copying over everything, I had to
critically evaluate what would apply, the regulations mentioned - do
they apply to the country I work in.”
Modify style to be appropriate for the task (45/319). Finally, participants reflected not only on what to incorporate from the response,
but also how to incorporate it. They might add a “personal touch”,
or adjust the tone to align the response with their intended style.
For example, when P210 used ChatGPT to revise his paper abstract,
he had to rephrase the output with a scientific tone because “often
the AI writes awful stuff like “our groundbreaking and fundamental
analysis shows...” that sounds too emphatic and does not fit the scientific style.” Participants also attempted to make the GenAI output
read less “AI-generated” and more personal, as P254 noted: “I did
make sure it [email composed by ChatGPT] read properly and made
sense and did sound like an email that I had composed myself and
that a colleague would send.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreif5dnepr47saibv35elavhgduji6omakx6n423tswq62cbwbdrhx4@jpeg)
![Complementing our quantitative findings, knowledge workers’
trust and reliance on GenAI (83/319) doing the task can discourage them from critically reflecting on their use of the tools. Users
often adopt a mental model that assumes AI is competent for simple
tasks. This was influenced by users’ prior experience with GenAI
tools, where the AI had proven trustworthy for specific tasks, as
P289 noted: “With straightforward factual information, ChatGPT
usually gives good answers.” For instance, P275 remarked: “It’s a
simple task [make a passage professional] and I knew ChatGPT could
do it without difficulty, so I just never thought about it, as critical
thinking didn’t feel relevant.” This mental model, however, can lead
to overestimating AI capabilities. Some users, like P185, believed
the information provided by GenAI tools was always truthful and
of high quality, while others (e.g., P143, P236) assumed the outputs
would consistently and accurately reflect referenced data sources.
Complementary to the perception of AI as being competent and
capable, some participants expressed self-doubt in their ability to
perform tasks independently, such as verifying grammar in text](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreibvgjnpudfgl7nvl6l2zt2ywi44tk4x6mnyz32c6skkkrz2ute5nu@jpeg)
