Companies put and allow AI-slop into their games (whether it is AAA, AA, indie, whatever) because they think players are stupid and accept anything and everything shoveled into their faces.
Please stop rewarding them for believing so.

SO... I'm pretty much done with Fortnite. There were statements made by Tim Sweeney saying that AI usage doesn't need to be disclosed, and then AI usage was found all over this current season- from art to sprays to in-game songs. Between that, and the upcoming shitty wizard collab... Yeah, I'm done.

used to be when you were offline for a few days you could sort of delude yourself into thinking maybe everything had gotten better but now even if you're in the middle of nowhere, completely disconnected, you can feel, just in the air, that somehow it's now even worse than you can imagine

I've written a short comment regarding this new MIT study that is being passed around and why it is horseshit. "11.7% of US workforce is being replaced by AI" my ass. Thought that might be of interest. Also - thanks for all your work, you are one of the best resources out there.
