Dead Space and Call of Duty’s Glen Schofield says he’s been experimenting with generative AI for 2 years and believes it can help ‘fix’ the games industry.

Is by no means the worst example of this, but I am so fucking over having a scary monster pose for the camera in a cutscene, do a little scream and have the camera shake. It was never scary, it is now annoying and trite. Fucking stop it. Stop it now
