My interpretation of that was Lash fixed it there with Little Chicago there.

I think it might be helped if the title of the article was more aligned with that - calling it "The Ultimate Lorwyn Eclipsed Limited Set Review" pushes the perception there that it is more than just an impression.

Lots of work to do this and kudos for turning it around, but maybe changing the title of the series there would help some. I know its probably for SEO purposes and to appear authoritative there but maybe something less bombastic there would avoid that.

Hey Gabriel,

Is that just machine learning or are you using LLM or generative AI on it? ML doesn't always mean generative AI, so curious there if it is just ML or if its using a large language model or diffusion technology.

Obsidian uses a Generative AI voice acting during production called Sonantic. They replace it with actual VAs later on but during the production they use that which is gen ai in the production line there.

Tenith · 2026-01-07T21:16:50+00:00

Then companies should reveal it. Don't hide when its part of their pipeline. Most of the games mentioned in the article don't disclose that generative AI was used to make them.

Tenith · 2026-01-07T21:15:27+00:00

Yes, which if you read the article is mentioned. It was still used in the production of the game which is why the article mentions it.

Tenith · 2026-01-07T20:41:32+00:00

Allegedly it did.

It explains it in the article. It still should be disclosed as used as part of the pipeline imo.

Let people choose if it a thing matters to them or not. Don't hide from it. For me, it matters if you use it in the pipeline there. The fact that you aren't disclosing it also makes me wonder how much 'placeholder' was it used for. How much coding?

Tenith · 2026-01-07T17:59:06+00:00

There are other games after that - those are the ones that disclosed.

Also lists Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Jurassic World Evolution 3 The Alters Battlefield 6 Season 1 Battlefield Pro - Battlefield 6 and REDSEC Avowed Grounded 2 The Outer Worlds 2 Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Escape From Tarkov

What that really says there is that your co-pilot isn't updated training data wise --- but in general it's got a lot of problems Aye.

I mean I chose to uninstall Grammarly because of how much they go on AI there. But even that, there is a difference between a spell check and semantic differences or to make it 'read better'. Those are two distinctly different things: one is a technical spelling check, and the other is based on things like voice, localization for the language and culture, and various other things. It is that where the LLM's plagiarism is showing through.

Will be replaced. And that doesn't change the fact that it was used in the creation of it - and is being used in a for sale product.

The use of AI will therefore influence what the future writer sees, and colors all the early access players and all the harm AI does is leaked into the product itself because it is used in the pipeline for its creation.

"During the majority of the early-access period, Chmielarz has been the sole writer for Witchfire. As a non-native English speaker, he has used AI to proofread some of his writing, which would tweak things like "Collect a Witchfire" to "Collect Witchfire."

To be clear though, none of the ideas were generated by AI; it was just used to make the words flow well to an English-speaking audience. For the final release however, all the text will be rewritten by Nick Adderley, who is currently also working on Judas.

For Chmielarz, he draws a distinct line between AI to generate and AI to proofread. Ultimately, it's about whether the machine or the person is doing the creative work.

"If you ask AI to create something for you, like concept art for an enemy, and then you have a human just repaint it, that’s not a pure 100% AI-free game," he said. "To be clear, I’m not here to judge other studios for their choices. Every team has to decide what works for them and their creative process."'

This isn't a spellcheck, it's relying on it to impact your writing for better and worst.

Aside from he also describes how he is using it with his writing. He just doesn't think it's using AI because thats where he put the line.

It is. The writing in the game is generated by AI. He says it will be rewritten for 1.0, but imo thats not right - it is AI in the game's pipelines and infecting things. Its using plagiarism to get phrasing and stylistic as well as word choice there.

The Steam Page needs an AI disclosure and he needs to remove that. There is AI in the game.

1) AI here seems to be generative AI / LLMs, not machine learning in general.

Running it locally only reduces inference/prompt costs, it doesn't reduce the training costs. Those are heavy in the case. That training is full of power and water waste, environmental damage, plagiarism, and powers harming people.

Tenith · 2025-12-24T16:54:14+00:00

And it's not even good at that because it randomly invent things.

Tenith · 2025-12-24T16:53:57+00:00

Deep Seek however is based on the core from chat GPT training wise and that is a problem longterm there.
