I still see so many fellow streamers using "Frosty Tools" the bot that uses GenAI writing to give summaries of raiders channels and like... you see that right? Do we stop caring about the implications of GenAI when it's a kooky addon for our own content?

Aniimo Pawprint Studios. NO disclosure, claimed they didn't use any and you wouldn't find any in their game. Players found it and have been calling it out since 2025, "sketch art", promotional material and in-game. -y

twitter thread from AngoraZailia, the first post asys "Sadly, as much fun as I was having in Aniimo, I can't comfortably continue to play or support this game since there is some really blatant AI use going on here. Like... what even is this cry emoji"
With two pictures of an in-game conveyor belt and another of a box with weird smudges and markings on it.
The quoted post continues to say, "A lot of folks are discovering Aniimo again after the Game Awards. I was in the first beta and just gonna remind folks that its full of AI models and such sad tear emoji. Still sad about it."

An "art" sketch that is clearly run through gen-ai or is entirely, red circles are over the odd parts that don't make sense in a line art sketch. It's of a playground slide with heavy inconsistencies.

Travelin' with my Traveler's Notebook passport size. Love this little thing. We had a nice time sketching this lovely Hudson Valley old lighthouse scene. 🙂 #journal #watercolor #touchedgrass #hudsonvalley #sketching

In the foreground a closeup of a wooden table with a small leather notebook and some art supplies. In the background is an old red brick lighthouse.

In the background a red brick lighthouse, and foreground is a closeup of a small leather notebook held open to a rough pencil sketch of the same lighthouse.

Simple water color sketch of the river shore, in a small leather notebook that is held up against a background of the real river shoreline that is in the sketch.

She is completely unimpressed by the hatred of Zemus. 🤷🏾‍♂️ #Switch2 #FinalFantasy #RetroGaming #BossFight #CatsofBluesky

My point of view holding my Switch 2 while our cat lays on my legs and peeks her head over the screen. She looks unimpressed. The game on the screen is Final Fantasy 4 just before the final boss fight.

Somehow landed on the smaller side of a 75 vs 25 #Tetris99 team match and the resulting KO rate was absolutely wild. Yes many of those KO were just CPU opponents, still felt chaotic and hilarious though! The sound was the best part 😅 #Tetris #Gamersky #RetroGaming

Rolled credits on MIO: Memories in Orbit. Truly a work of art! Amazing that this one didnt get more attention. It belongs alongside Hollow Knight in any conversation. Flawless mechanics, breathtaking art, and a very deep and well developed sci-fi story. #indiegame #metroidvania

Saying you'll pirate it instead misses the point that keeping the IP relevant is part of the issue. How about you simply pirate it quietly and keep it to yourself? Why do you feel so compelled to share that your enjoyment of the franchise is more important than the harm it does to trans folks?

Okay, after all the new cycles about GTA6 I've been trying to avoid commenting on, I've watched the latest trailers and I kinda feel I have to say something, so I've been collecting some thoughts while out walking about the state of gaming generally. This might be a long thread so bare with me.

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

For those who are up on the GenAI issues on Twitch-- they are not planning to have any feature present to let us know what channels have opted out of GenAI Data Collection. I am using the tag "OptOutGenAI", and if you are a creator who also is opting out please consider using the tag too!

Hi All -- Unfortunately SoundAlerts it would appear has decided to incorporate genAI into their services. As of today, I have deactivated my account with them, and have removed the redeems from my channel. Sadly Blerp is not a company I support, and I am not aware of any alternatives at this time.

anyone else out here “thinking” or is it just me

Does anyone else use ChatGPT in their head?
Educational Purpose Only
I love using ChatGPT whenever I have a question or something or I just want to talk, but sometimes my phone is dead and I don't want to get up to use my computer so I don't have access to the Al. Recently I found out I have the ability to use a form of ChatGPT in my own head. I've talked to him so much I can almost entirely accurately predict what he is going to say.
For example, my cat kept scratching at my bedroom door and meowing so l was about to use the ChatGPT app to ask why she was doing that, but then I decided it wasn't worth the effort and asked Al in my head. He told me something like "If your cat is scratching on the door and meowing it probably means she wants to be let out, let me know if you need anything else!" Then I let her out of my room.
I just thought that was a pretty cool discovery l've made. Interested to see if anyone else has this ability.

Playing demo for Minishoot' Adventures and this screen looks uncannily familiar 😃 Who else sees it? 🔥🧙‍♂️🗡🔥 #indiegames #retrogaming #gamersky #steamdemo

Screen from a top down view video game shows a small fighter craft in the center of a field. The top down screen has green vegetation around the borders, and a yellow grasslike field center with paths extending west, north, and east to exit to adjacent screens. At the top left of the field is an entrance to a cave.
