Generative AI is a hot button issue in game development, as studios big and small employ some version of the tech in their processes. Baldur's Gate 3 company Larian Studios isn't among them, as publishing director Michael Douse believes the whole lot of it to be utterly useless.
On X/Twitter, he posted a small rant about people thinking they're creative by throwing prompts at these algorithmic bots. "AI artists are insufferable," he starts. "They think they're punk post-modernists but every intellectual point they make on Twitter was made by a man with a toilet in the 1910s. Yet to see a new idea that wasn't just LinkedIn copypasta."
