$1 million for a Game Awards Trailer is a way over my budget.
So, I'm going to post my Cat train idle game here for free and reposting is free as well!

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

Holy crap the last time I posted a schedule was back in June. This year has been chaotic, just like most years. Maybe I'm not cut out to be a streamer. But as a good friend once said, I'm giving it one more last try. So have this.

Goddammit I just found out that an RPG youtuber that I really like is using genAI for all his video thumbnails (the art style is not as typical for AI slop so I didn't notice for a while). And I'm just so disappointed.

Clair Obscur winning GOTY shows that people will stop caring about genAI in games as soon as it's in a game they actually like. You can't rail against ARC Raiders and Where Winds Meet and then turn around with Clair Obscur and go "well actually..."
Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that
But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out
