I know game journalists are memed on, but this is really disappointing. AI will eventually unravel and crap out because it's regurgitating AI content.

Will it eventually be AIs at the marketing firm telling the execs that their ads are successful because the AIs on the other side are 'reading' it for new training data on how to better optimize viewer attention span? Just two Ad companies paying each other back and forth?

I can't wait until The Escapist articles are all "Zelda Zelda Zelda Zelda ZeldaZeldaZeldaZeldaZeldaZeldaZelda Zelda Zelda Zelda Zelda Zelda"

I'm least worried about The Escapist, as the editor-in-chief for the past few years Nick Caldera is running it with integrity. It is the only game news site I am happy to pay a subscription to.

How does that matter if the owners just fired all the writers and replaced them with an AI? I see little to no integrity at a publication owned by some big group calling shots like this. These are Nick's bosses, so uhhh... he either listens or quits.

Yeah if they run it that brutally, it's going to go bad.

But usually there is a lot of difference between how sub-companies are treated both based on how they are currently doing and how strong-headed their management is.
