@baldur @mawhrin My 15 year old read your toot over my shoulder and her reaction was “Well yeah.” with a shrug and an eyeroll like it was the most obvious thing ever that AI isn’t all that. Even teens can see through of the hype.

@bjn @mawhrin @baldur I've overheard kid telling his friend "ugh, let's not try this game, it has an AI-generated cover page". 😄

His friend was like "so what, what are you on about", so they tried the game anyway. Ten minutes later: "See? Told you it would be garbage. Always with these lazy, mass-producing game creators that won't even make their own cover page."
