AI can be a useful tool, but nothing more, and some are already trying to use it for things that they just outright should not be. Generative AI is a very slippery slope that needs to be both transparent and very much controlled.<\/p>\n<p>2) it isn&#8217;t close to the level it needs to be yet, even in functions that it has been available for some time eg internet searching. It still makes ridiculous errors, and this whole PM\/Chancellor thing shows that it can easily come up with different info depending on how the question was worded and when the question was asked &#8211; no answer I read the other day mentioned Sunak as PM, it was only the Chancellor part it got wrong for example. @FuriousMachine summed it up well here.<br \/>\nI fully get the argument that it will improve over time, but the big problem is that the current (widespread) use of AI appears to far exceed its current capability, and that can be dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>3) The use of AI appears to be FAR outpacing legislation. What I read in a news article about Mr Orange&#8217;s order to prevent US states legislating against it even in the absence of US wide legislation, was just concerning, and I dont think I have heard much here in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment is-supporter\" id=\"comment8951749\" data-author=\"users\/302443\" data-subject=\"comments\/8951749\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8951749\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/302443\/avatar.jpg?v=1739800112\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Fizza\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/12\/divinity-devs-comments-on-generative-ai-trigger-a-total-social-media-shtstorm#comment8951749\">69<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fizza<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-12-17T11:26:30+00:00\">27 mins ago<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>I hold a very firm anti generative-AI stance myself so statements such as these are utterly infuriating for me.

If you want to hate them entirely on those assets being in the game in the first place I won&#8217;t try to argue against you, but I do feel like the speed at which they responded to the criticism tells me that they realised how damaging having Gen-AI in their game is and will (hopefully) not do it again in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately I don&#8217;t really get that same vibe of regret and understanding from Vincke here.
