Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices,
If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text.
You get the idea.
If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

A c-suite person once confessed to me over breakfast that they--in their own words--"failed upwards" and weren't really sure how they got to where they were. I think I was intended to take it as a moment of vulnerability or humility but all it did was make me furious.

The "using AI to generate concept art early in the process to quickly iterate ideas" thing is so absurd to me because like. You don't know what concept art is. You don't know what concept art *does*.

Man, I know my outreach here is limited but I just got laid off at 2K after working on BioShock 4 for a year and a half. To say I'm gutted is a complete understatement.

As a writer also in a field with a very high exec/top brass presence in the creative process, I can guarantee you that in 99% of cases, if the writing feels like you're repetitively being spoon fed plot and exposition, it's a directive from on high and not what the writer would do if left alone.
Before I made any assumptions, I went and read the Pc Gamer piece that is "ragging" on Veilguard.
Summary: It's not. It speaks of a phenomenon in some games of chewing out information, which Veilguard DOES do, and correctly assigns the responsibility of it to the top brass.

We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them

I like making fancy layer cakes. Infusions, soaks, stabilized buttercream or emulsions. Gelees, fillings, piping, decor, all of it.
I do not like eating cake. I'm not a sweets person but if I had to point to a least favourite dessert, cake is it.
