Cette affaire est juste scandaleuse. Un grand patron, mécène d'Aix Marseille Université se prête au jeu des questions réponses avec des étudiants en journalisme
les questions sont polies, mais piquantes.
Les étudiantes sont ensuite sèchement recadrées par les profs

Doing your budgets or schedules with a technology that routinely hallucinates is a terrible idea (as is contracts, legal advice, etc.).
Doing docs with AI is making the primary source of truth unreliable for the team and creates ambiguity or conflict, and thus also a terrible idea.

As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

On a regardé le documentaire Le Triomphe de la Fantasy et... bah c'était pas terrible. je sais même pas par quoi commencer.
Le style docu américain sensationnaliste. Les images d'illustration bof ou pas sourcées. Une quasi absence des femmes ou des univers non occidentaux. Des affirmations fausses

NEW from me on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: I wasn’t going to write about the Larian AI backlash. Then I woke up at 5:30 this morning with a whole dang blog in my head.
How can you know if your workers are “okay” with using genAI tools if you have so much power over them should they push back?

Anyway one of the promises of AI is that you CAN actually just take what's in you head and manifest it. Even if that worked well, I sorta feel that misses the point of why I work with artists in the first place

I'm a bad visual artist and a mid musician. If I'm bringing people onto a team to fill those roles it needs to be because I value their style & want their creative input, otherwise why even hire them.

One of the lessons that I remember taking some time to learn at the start of my professional gamedev career was that if I'm hiring an artist or musician, it can't be because I want them to take what's in MY brain out and put it into the game.

Daniel, you've been trying to walk back the gamergate era of yourself because you started to see how detrimental it was and how it made you the favorite dev of Nazis everywhere (which you know is not good), you don't need to be stepping on more rakes.

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.
If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

I was one of the other authors whose free games were used as a basis for this (by permission, under contract).
Read the thread for details; I agree with every word Alan has written (both the positives about the game, and the negatives about Jonathan Blow).

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

Additionally, in recent years it has become increasingly clear that Jon’s beliefs/priorities and mine are not aligned. He’s adversarial to people talking about privilege and representation, is dismissive of diversity efforts, has dabbled in covid trutherism, and is pro-MAGA.
