MODERATORS
What exactly is being written by an LLM?
People honestly go overboard with LLM, genAI accusations...
Generally, I agree with you. My partner is a writer and gets accusations thrown at her every time she uses an em-dash. But this article has a lot of GPT-isms, starting from the first paragraph :
At its best, great art direction doesn’t just support a game — it unifies the vision and makes it unforgettable.
I agree that this particular sentence does sound like an LLM, but it's worth pointing out that LLM output does tend to overlap with the style used in marketing copytext (even before LLMs went mainstream).
FWIW, I actually had a short interaction with the dev and he seemed genuine enough. That being said, that doesn't mean they wouldn't use an LLM for at least some of text.
I am just sharing a strategy concept that I found interesting. :)
