I think it’s a combination of every tech company people used to like turning into a surveillance and gambling platform in the last couple years.

But in some tiny village, he's known as Bees Steve, that weird guy who loves beekeeping. The more uppercase titles the legend has, the funnier the contrast is. 2461301906

Pumpkins 🎃 @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 25/06/2026The simple fact is, people by and large just don't want it, and whatever scarlet letter may be placed on a game by disclosing AI usage is because the customers know it's going to result in an inferior experience. "We can only sell you this by deception" is really telling on yourself. 245476

We want AI voices!" or demanding AI music over the likes of Mick Gordon or Akira Yamaoka, no scores of "We want the slop! Give us the slop!" in the Steam forums. 542845
