Generative AI is a poison that kills everything it touches all so people who are already rich get to be richer while you have to be poorer
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.

Kazuo Umezu believed children were more adaptable than adults in horrific situations because adults have rigid views of reality & break when those conceptions are shattered.

And, perhaps, that's why it'll never happen. I don't have the ambition required to step on others for the sake of capitalism. I can't do that.

This is to say, I don't want to be rich — I just want to be wealthy enough that I can hire the struggling homies to make sure they're not struggling and can create without fear.

I have so many talented people on my bsky feed looking for jobs and if I were a bit richer I'd hire them to help me. It really sucks being paid poverty wages to do something incredibly important for large numbers of people's survival.

I realize, of course, that the disgusting process of extruding raw thought into grammar ("writing") often reveals the contents of one's skull as a foetid mass of unresolved trauma and resentment. Nevertheless, I feel I should receive temporary immunity when volunteering to write a 500-word essay.

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages."

Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder.

I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

One thing that is very daunting about writing a vn is dialogue. I have written a lot of Warframe fanfic, but dialogue is different between combatants and between civilians. I'm afraid it will result in my psychological horror being too naval gazey.

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

Honestly I think if my dad ever uttered the phrase "cuck" unironically I'd swat him with a rolled up newspaper and put him outside next to the grill until he learned his manners a/o cooked us burgers

We’re at the point now where people are calling being anti-LLMs as “outrage” as a convenient way to characterise it as unreasonable, and it’s annoying. I’m not outraged, I’m repulsed. I don’t want your stolen shit. It’s gross. You are a fucking loser to me

“Here’s your meal, full of delicious lead” I don’t want it. No thank you. “Well, what about if we just use lead in the cooking process? You can’t even taste the lead in the final meal” I’m leaving. “You’re being childish. Soon everyone will be cooking with lead” have you fucking listened to yourself

“AI is ok as long as it’s not taking anyone’s job” and whose work is it trained on. Did you forget that it’s a bunch of stolen fucking shit? Are we moving the goalposts already? “it’s sticking around so you have to get used to it, be realistic” no I don’t. Eat my shit and hair
December 17, 2025 at 7:51 PM
My thing is that if your scope is so big you need to use AI assets instead of paying human beings to do the job, you should... reduce your scope, or pay for humans to do the job. You don't need AI. You need to do some actual project management.

No shade to Ari here, but to Mr Vavra.

So since you don't like that Tom had to spend 500 hours in the studio recording generic heckling and generic bars you rather steal generic heckling and generic bars someone else did and the plagiarism machine lends your way?

Ok, then i don't feel like>
the lead schmuck from warhorse studios (kingdom come deliverance) identifying a real issue (budgets and dev lengths are too high and long), misconstruing it’s nature (it’s “fact”??? that it has to be this way??), and coming to the conclusion that the dead brain plagiarism bot is our savior. fuck off

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.

I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

BASED 🙏
None of my artists were available on short notice, so I took out my old tablet pen and drew YAKG's holiday art myself 💪 Cece and Ria prepping for the holidays!

Hm? Another way to make art without a pen? …Never heard of it. 🤷‍♂️

Happy K*llingmas, friends~ 🎄
