When you use GenAI to produce "writing" and try to convince people that you're now a writer, is kind of like turning on a TV and trying to convince your cat that you are now a great magician.

The result in both cases is that nobody is impressed.

With the release of Crimson Desert by Pearl Abyss this week, I'm delighted to announce that I contributed additional writing to the game.

"Countless destinies await your discovery
on the seamless open world of Pywel.
May Solumen’s blessing guide you on your journey
across the living, breathing expanse of Pywel."
