Choose your words very, very carefully now, Swen. What's wrong with lorem ipsum that you have to resort to ML? What's wrong with searching for references & curating it yourself? Instead you make your employees swallow whatever slop genAI spits out AS REFERENCES OF THEIR WORKS? LISTEN TO YOURSELF.

AI bones are inherently brittle, and anything built on them will rot.
“Oh I only used AI for placeholders or idea starters” does not make it better! If you are using it for any part of the creative process then you’re no longer doing the process!
"placeholder text" "concept art" either the temporary thing you put in matters to the process, in which case you need to get a human to work on it, or it doesn't, in which case you can just as easily put a bright pink rectangle that says PLACEHOLDER in and save everyone time and effort

Please I’m begging be careful what you repost. Some good tips here. Assume anything online could be AI at this point. (Especially if it’s meant to evoke a strong emotion or reaction. yes this includes cute animal photos/videos).
🍌 Google's Nano Banana Pro is here, making spotting AI images even harder. We're at a point where anything you see online could be AI, which makes fact-checking your feed more essential than ever.

Another game using genAI that immediately went on my "never buy" pile. Sucks, since I really liked BG3.
NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
