One take from a former Larian artist, following my interview with Swen Vincke this morning:
consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

For the record, I agree with Swen that you shouldn't have to grow a callous on your soul to make something. This, believe it or not, is a feeling many game critics (ESPECIALLY marginalized writers) deal with! You have to protect yourself! Which probably means quit the fuckin namesearching, Swen.

I think maybe Swen should just don't
The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.
