You can criticize it all you like, but what you _actuall_ need to do is disprove it because that’s how science works.
JD Vance: "Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it, then you ought to criticize it and you ought to argue against it."

I know paying people is expensive. But I despise the way AI sounds. I hate it so much, that I refuse to engage with anything in its vicinity.
Do it yourself, pay a human, or don’t do it at all.

I'm a voiceover actor, you've heard me on your TV, radio or the web over the 36 years of my career. My bread-and-butter work used to be narrating training films and corporate videos, used to be at least 1/3 of my income. MOST of that work is now AI. My agents are dying, fellow talent are struggling.
How is AI *really* impacting jobs?
Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:
-8% drop in all jobs postings
-~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs
-22% drop in journalism jobs

I used to ask my colleagues about this. (Not America)
Their answer was “oh I just get up at 6am” or “I go to work at 10 to avoid traffic and attend calls on the way” and that’s just not safe or a healthy way to live.

something I'm surprised gen AI discourse didn't hit yet is the attitude "I asked for it to be done, so I made it" has always been how rich people view using workers who have trained skills and do the technical side. they see themselves as creators for having an idea, we were just a means to that end

There’s no Gen AI in Potions in Motion _or_ in Hey Over Here.
There's no gen AI in Forbidden Solitaire either.
We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

When you play a game, especially one as detailed as GTA, its humanity is infused into every pixel. Every uncanny valley animation, every tiny hand placed detail in the map. Every wonky transition between poses. Every line of dialogue written, recorded, and mocapped.
Every system and simulation.

with games as big as GTA many players (and even some devs tbh) forget that these games are made by humans and not just faceless corporations
