Someone has never read a Rolling Stones best of list before.

They were upsetting people over how they ranked music for decades before ChatGPT was available.

  This will happen for every “best of” list. It’s why Giant Bomb always includes the deliberations, so you can hear how they arrived there.

    Each game literally has two or three paragraphs dedicated to why it was chosen with the human authors name credited at the end of each game section.

    Yeah, but how do I know they’re not AIs with human names? /s

I would need more evidence to conclude that the list was generated using AI.

I don’t think there’s much argument over the merit of each of these games. Most “best games of all time” lists would have these games. I think it’s natural that critically acclaimed and widely beloved games show up on both the Rolling Stone’s list and in GPT 4o’s training data.

I can understand arguments regarding the order of their list however. That was my intention when submitting the link – to stir up discussion regarding the order they chose for the games.

It looks like Rolling Stone included Baulders Gate 3.

That game is recent enough that it hasn’t qualified for Wikipedia’s List of video games considered the best yet.

Wikipedia’s list requires an entry feature on 6 different publications’ “best of” lists so that implies RS may have applied some and haven’t just cribbed directly.
