this was my biggest project so far; 4 separate edits, a total of over 6 hours, and a lot of banging my head on things I hadn't done before
looks really cool, very happy with the result

I mean this wasn't surprising to me, personally, but it really makes the whole "there was pushback at first, but they're more or less ok with it now" thing sound so, so much shittier.
Like your artists are probably telling you that it makes it worse. And you're forcing them anyway. Ugh.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Genuinely, watch the whole thing. I don't necessarily agree with all of it (namely, setting a precedent and replacing even a bit of creative process), but it's still remarkable. Pls watch.

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.

it's easier to keep the trust you've earned than to regain the trust you've already lost
personally, not touching ff with a ten foot pole until a version where no AI features are *ever* opt-out, is shipped
we'd prefer if there were no ai features, but hey. who cares what the users think right lol

All AI features will also be opt-in. I think there are some grey areas in what 'opt-in' means to different people (e.g. is a new toolbar button opt-in?), but the kill switch will absolutely remove all that stuff, and never show it in future. That's unambiguous.

Starfield is definitely my 2025's goty, it was worth all the wait and saving up for a new PC. I love this game so so very much.
Smite being my top played makes sense cause it's the only pvp I play and I love pvp lol
And WF's numbers would have been higher if Bungie scammed us earlier in the year

On top of that, 'here to stay' just means that time is linear.
NFTs are *technically* here to stay. There's still a few grifters trying to make them happen. They will probably never completely disappear because they're just in circulation.
But as anything mass-market? Dead as the dodo.

I hate "it's not going anywhere" and "it's here to stay" inevitability language
It's not brave or bold to latch onto something you've been convinced is powerful, it's cowardly & pathetic
Things don't just happen to you. Surrendering your agency to avoid the fight at all is spineless, not wise

I'm so done with the broader bg3/larian fandom
Choosing to defend and justify the shitty things their favorite ceo is doing instead of standing with actual artists and devs is fucking mental behavior
You can love the game and its developers without defending slop for fucks sake

using pinterest pre-ai era was such a nice experience
I'd get to look at stuff that real people made - in real life, in games, or in artistic mediums - and slowly build a collage of ideas united entirely by my own vision of a result
now it's mostly just slop that all looks the same

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.
Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
