Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models.
This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workersβwhose works GenAi companies stole to train their modelsβ they hope to replace.

100% this.
If a game you care about has gen AI in it complain to them through their customer service. Studio execs can ignore social media byt their CS team being slammed will get their attention
Does anyone have a browser they like that isnβt @firefox.com ? It looks like itβs time to switch.

Bruce Straley doesn't think gen AI has a place in game development
To quote @lukeplunkett.com :
I followed and turned on notifications! <3 This is the content Iβm on the internet for. π
Hell yeah, well done, nurse!! β€οΈβπ₯ That personβs life, and the lives of their friends and family, are tangibly better because of decisions you made and skills you learned. I hope you and your team felt like rockstars (once the adrenaline of the code wore off)!
Honestly, this whole thing just smacks of the idea that someone whoβs heavily invested in Larian is *also* heavily invested in AI, and is trying to force one investment to give money to their other investment. :/
And you can collaborate with humans! Especially humans who have skills you need who are also super into the subject you need information on!
Bouncing ideas off an LLM makes me think of Ian McKellen crying while acting opposite a green screen and tennis ball actor placeholders *in the worst way.*
Right?! Real researchers and subject matter experts might be more expensive, but you get what you pay for. The accurate, detailed information youβd get from a professional researcher or archivist is *infinitely* more valuable than whatever hallucinatory crap youβd get from the confidently-wrong AI.
If you need really high quality reference material of clothing from any historical era and you want to make sure the data is captured by human people who want to use it ethically, @render-ready.com is literally right here
This is a bad excuse for lazy craftsmanship
I guess BG3 was the last @larianstudios.com game Iβm buying, unless they drastically course correct away from any use of generative AI. Itβs a shame their execs donβt seem to be listening to staff saying they donβt want AI in any part of their pipeline.

I think it's really telling that there's never been a hot person who's into AI

If republicans can lose their razor thin majority in the house, especially before midterms, Trumpβs ability to do anything will be severely diminished.
If youβre in Tennesseeβs 7th district, vote for Aftyn Behn- itβs a much tighter race than expected(in a good way). Tennessee going for a progressive is a huge deal, and ofc would be a major blow to republicans.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
