When I saw that the Costco hot dog price had increased, I knew that all hope was lost for society.
All joking aside, this was a really thoughtful take on a lot of issues that I actually spend a lot of time thinking about. I suppose it shouldn’t be too surprising that people who work on the same game jam would spend time thinking about the same issues, but the intersection of generative AI, our modern corporate culture, and games as a medium is a really fascinating area. Will generative AI be a tool to help creators create better games, or will it remove something special from the process and cheapen the medium as a whole? Will AI create a world where humans have to do less tedious labor, or will it just help further reinforce systems that force people to do menial tasks in the first place, even when it’s not clear whether this kind of work is actually doing any good for anyone? There don’t seem to be many clear answers but I think it’s commendable that you were able to create a narrative that tackles so many of these questions.
