![A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing:
Hey Evil Hat team,
Promised this is the last time you’ll hear from me.
We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend.
I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can.
Want in before we close it up?
Best,
[redacted]
And then our reply:
Hi [redacted],
We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games.
In short, it's not "free work" it's theft.
Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit.
