The apology admits use of AI in marketing material
After the studio was already shut down. If it turned out they hadn't used generative AI would the results have been any different?
Also, oh no, marketing material. Definitely worth destroying a game studio over.
Yeah this is getting ridiculous. People are going to have to accept the existence of genAI sooner or later. To be honest I never understood what the problem people had with it was in the first place. Surely AI is something we were all looking forward to before it actually came out.
Yeah, I never noticed any particular negative reaction when someone walked into the Holodeck on Star Trek and said "Computer, create a mystery in the style of Sherlock Holmes" or whatever. Ask most people and they'd probably count that as one of the fictional technologies they were most looking forward to.
Sure but we don't have that. And AI is costing people jobs, stealing content not actually doing anything well "spending" billions.
Don’t forget the ecological impact
