  “Generative AI” is a bullshit hype term for language models . Really wish people would stop referring to data scraping as intelligence.

    Are those which generate images also Large Language Models? I have been wondering what the technical term for them is…

      No, generative ai is a blanket term that covers them both. Lots of people are both forcefully opinionated about this topic, and clueless. Like the person you’re responding to

  Is it just me or does this article just run 9n and on without actually proving whatsoever that these jobs were lost to AI?

    It’s not a good article. I was following along until, 5 minutes in, it suddenly decided to be detailing and describing exactly what AI and LLMs are.

    For every shitty article pushing AI hype out there, there’s a shittt article pushing AI hate. Extremism generates clicks.

    I thinks there are some nuggets of good information in there. The bits on first-hand accounts from former and current Activision employees, and on how it’s mostly the concept artists that are hurt is interesting. But you really have to wade through a mound of shit to get there, and I genuinely don’t have the patience to wade through the second half and see if there any more truth in this soft mound of turd that Wired called journalism.

      I’ll ask ChatGPT to pull out the key takeaways for me so I can have an unreliable summary of a tedious article.

    You’ll have to forgive us, the article was written by an LLM

    They do say straight away that the concept and design departments are getting slashed, now with very few human artists, all who are forced to use AI in their workflow.

    The same is happening in VFX and film to some extent, though I know that from personal acquaintances and not the article.

    That’s it. The rest is conflated as you say. It is a very loooong article so I didn’t finish it. Perhaps I missed the real horrors at the end of it.

  This is why gamepass is mediocre. They fire the people that can create great games and then think AI can do what they did. Activision and blizzard were great when they had great people working there.

    Activision and Blizzard failed before this technology was available to them.
