Let me be very clear:
If I see ANY use of generative AI on my Bluesky feed, I will be bullying the GenAI user until one of us blocks the other.
I will NOT welcome GenAI use on this website. GenAI belongs on Twitter, where it can play with Elon's pet Mechahitler.

Truly, from everything I've seen LLMs are always talking to you like a particularly desperate toady and I could not imagine wanting to spend one more second with such a person then I have to, so very weird that people want their chatbots to talk like that.

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why.
Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

Authors, remember that you CAN insist on human translation for your foreign-language editions and have it written into your contracts. You can no longer just assume you're going to get a human to work on the book whose every word you wrote with intent.

it's pretty insane of modern devs to be like "AI is the future, it's here to stay, soon every game will have it and you'll have to live with it" as though millions of gamers don't have hundreds of games on their backlog they've been meaning to get to
"It’s time to face reality, AI is here to stay" - Kingdom Come: Deliverance head Daniel Vávra says Larian got a "crazy shitstorm" for doing what "absolutely everyone else is doing", and that while he's "no fan of AI generated art" it's going nowhere.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.
