The Absolute Clown Show of AI-Generated Games Media | Unpacked

Good on Nick for shouting out other independent games media outlets, even ones that he wasn't going to give the spotlight to

Not gonna defend this one. Even as an AI supporter I much prefer when people use it as a tool and not a replacement, and also when they don't try to mask it as something else.

Thanks, Nick. I hope you’re enjoying Italy. I recommend Florence if you get a chance just a train ride from Rome. What freaks me out is the amount of parallels with completely other industries what you described in this video is happening with verbatim - but swap video games for something like engineering design. 😬

Is Nick in Rome and Athens? I thought his flight was cancelled! I don't read any gaming articles outside of Second Wind so don't have anything to add to the topic, but I am concerned by how many posts/replies I see on some gaming subreddits feel a bit to AI-y. It's all just so pointless.

Thanks for covering this Nick! Depressing as it is someone has to do it.

I have tried to enclose my online ecosystem like a walled garden due to this kind of AI slop. If I know you from a decade ago you get in. Then if someone collaborates or are mentioned by someone already in then I'll look into letting them in. Pretty much anything reccomended by the algorithm gets a nuke it from orbit treatment.

Yeesh, this is depressing.
