If we want them to go away, we absolutely should ignore them. "No such thing as bad press." Not here to argue about it, but I hope you'll reconsider because I won't be comfortable supporting you while you support them.

As part of a network site that covers major games news, I do not have the luxury of pretending a large chunk of the games industry doesn't exist. I will fiercely criticize AI stuff. I will mock it endlessly. It would be hugely unprofessional to plug my ears and shut my eyes.

I read the whole thread before replying and I think I understand your position. The problem is that any exposure is net positive, even if you utterly trash the subject, and especially on the web, where mere mention of something contributes to elevating the subject algorithmically.

I do get that this is a complex, murky mess and it's hard or impossible to draw strong lines. (Ex: people who object to "AI" graphics don't have any problem with devs using it to *code* a game!) But when can choose whether to talk about a game, just please remember the above.
