"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

Not to add to the din but I can't emphasize it enough; I couldn't think of another link in the chain of game dev more disastrous to poison with generative AI than concept art.
NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’
‘I think this one is going to be way better’ than ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ Larian CEO Vincke says

I'm a lot less excited about the new Divinity now. Using genAI for early brainstorming/concepting might not be as ethically bad as like, slapping generated images completely unaltered into your finished product, but it still sucks

Cole is such a huge part of our community here in Idaho, and I am very proud to support this work. Please pre-order the book. Better yet, do it through our local indie, Rediscovered Books. <3 rdbooks.org

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

I feel like folks expressing surprise at how graphic Larian's new Game Awards trailer is might possibly have forgotten the time they cold announced Baldur's Gate 3 with a trailer that was literally just a depiction of illithid ceremorphosis so up close and detailed it gave some viewers new fetishes.

Absolutely no hate to content creators of any kind who shill sponsored products. Get that bag etc.

but, also, I assume anything I hear an ad for on a podcast is overhyped garbage if not an actual scam
