“Microsoft plans to eliminate every line of C and C++ from the company by 2030.”

"Our strategy is to combine AI *and* Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases," a Microsoft engineer noted.

"Our North Star is “1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code”.

Adding to this, the idea that concept art is some sort of tedium you can cut corners on is genuinely insulting. Concept art is the bedrock to a setting's entire visual identity, and cutting corners on it is akin to shooting yourself in the foot to win a race.
"It's just concept art, who cares if they use genAI and not actual artists?"

Look at this concept art for C-3P0 by Ralph McQuarrie.

It's the very thing that inspired Anthony Daniels to go for the role of Threepio and perform him as such.

It is the first heartbeat of the art that now exists.

This is a good battle to pick tho.

If CEOs know that they’re gonna have to fight a PR battle every time the press catches wind of AI use at their game company, and they’re not seeing big productivity boosts (because AI doesn’t work that way), they may come to a conclusion it’s not worth it.

I was today years old when I found out you can just run a full Linux shell on your Android device without jailbraking it by just installing the Termux app.

You can even install sshd and ssh into your phone!
