See as a former QA tester myself, that is quite literally the last department anyone with half a fucken brain would ever want to replace with clankers.
QA are THE closest people to actual players. A bot is only going to have HORRIBLE feedback about the game and may not even recognize x/y as a bug

Idk if it's a cultural issue that people don't consider the very human experiences of the game industry's workforce,
but I think about this song in which Logic describes what people who don't know shit say/assume about him and how unconstructive it all is.
Song: Confessions of a dangerous mind

I knew that as time went on, google android would get less and less "open", but really FUCK this pos company anyways. Get a pixel and load a foss android rom.
I know it's ironic to buy a google phone to get away from google, but pixels are the only path to digital freedom on phones right now

I used to feel self concious about my breathe sounds in my videos and would spend like half a day just editing each and every one of those sounds out.
Now I'm just like "Man, life is too short to worry about the breathe sounds, I'm only human". Not caring anymore DRAMATICALLY speeds up production
