After seeing genAI game trailers appear even before Gamescom, I reached out to a few trailer editors to see how they feel about its use. Derek Lieu gave me this winner of a quote, among many others in the article.
Slyther Games@slythergames.com · last mo.We spoke with game trailer editors to learn how generative AI is impacting their field and how it fails to capture the quality they deliver.
Aujourd'hui, je vais parler de l’extrême droite et de ses menaces de mort contre des élus écologistes. Et vous comprendrez pourquoi je continuerait d’affirmer - même quand ils s’en offusquent - que le RN n’est pas un parti républicain. Soutien à Sébastien Scarpinato et à toustes les autres. 🧵⤵️
