Was seeing which ones I recognize, and chuckled when I read Grey Alien's "We enjoy creating and problem solving ourselves" since I read it as "we enjoy creating and solving problems ourselves" (To be clear, I'm too small to appear in the list, but still not using genAI for any of my projects ๐ )

They've also pulled this shit on my biggest video (smol YouTuber so big is relative). Any other YouTuber followers/mutuals who've had the same issue? Presumable they go after small channels, who'll more easily buckle under the pressure of "your account can be suspended if you dispute this claim"

You know what it's time for? It's time for me to wreck my notifications all day by reminding everyone about these starter packs I made for game devs who don't use generative AI in ANY capacity. There are three: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ
Although to be fair the few studies I've seen talk of a 10-20% decrease long term. So with enough mules, there's no productivity, presumable because the worker needs to scoop shit all day

One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it a modest 10% productivity gain. Benjamin fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1000% productivity gain." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ai-...
