it honestly really annoys me that muddying the term "AI" has been really successful because things like AI upscaling textures, while usually ugly, are not the same as gen AI

this is really NOT the important part but I keep thinking that if you are going as far as generating AI graphics for your internal studio powerpoint presentations you have lost the plot and are spending time making it look slick and not on making it informative and moving on to some other task

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...)

if you hate unmediated AI use at your workplace without worker input, if your boss is speaking over you & for you, consider unionizing. shop and industry unions are bargaining and ratifying real, material AI protections RIGHT NOW.

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

I think it's kinda hater shit when DPs aren't totally air unblockable like when games have rules like "air-to-airs are blockable in the air." I can see how that'd happen programmatically (game checks if both players are airborne) but like. come on. I did my DP. die

I admire Capcom's dedication to refusing to listen to their fans when it comes to balance changes, because they are 100% correct that Players of a Current Street Fighter are stupid babies with nothing of value to say.
