if it's any consolation, some people at GOG don't like it either, so maybe they'll revert this and won't do it again

this sucks, still. to me this just sends the message that GOG doesn't care and will not put much effort into what they do. that's not a good message to send when you're selling yourself as a games preservation platform...

Come on GOG, I like you, don't make me dislike you.

Heaven forbid actually paying an artist to make your stupid banner.

"we care about games being DRM-free, and fucking nothing else this is our only value lmao"

- GOG, presumably

why must everyone insist on the ai bullshit? are they really that blind to how populace views it? Not using it and actively refusing to use it would be beneficial instead as it would set you apart from others and literally cost nothing, or infact less than nothing since you wouldnt have to pay for the grifters to include their bullshit in whatever you are doing.

I love that one false dichotomy argument the one poster presents, where being anti-AI is anti-progress in all its forms, and being PRO-AI is the only way to a post-scarcity society. That's definitely the only two possibilities, for sure.

The best part is the job opening...

Actively use and promote AI-assisted development tools to increase team efficiency and code quality

Probably the boss of the person who had to write the job opening demanded they include something about AI, and the person who wrote it decided to turn their sarcasm up to 100. The only way to make it more clear would have been sarcastic casing:

Actively use and promote AI-assisted development tools to InCrEaSe TeAm EfFiCiEnCy AnD cOdE qUaLiTy

This is incredibly disappointing...

This is so disappointing and I'm so sorry that the people at GOG received some AI-hype-bro who had enough leverage to get the AI banner posted. In my mind I can hear them, against all the negative posts/comments, go "It's not just a phase, mom moneybag!" and see GOG double down on this course.

Yea, canceling my gog patron now

I read GOG but thought it must've been Epic.

You guys are fanatics if this turns you away from GOG, while other stores are egregiously using an insane amount of AI stuff and you don't bat an eye.

Cultists.

Well that was a dumb idea

WHYY?!
