Tell me you're not tall without telling me you're not tall.

The person who was caught is the artist of the manga adaptation and not the writer of the original light novel.

(Also both the ln-writer and the manga-artist are female.)

I didn't say that.

I expect it to be about as awful as Starfield. However, unlike Starfield (which didn't sell horrendously by any source I can find, just not great) it has incredible brand recognition behind it. I have no doubts it will sell based on that alone as long as it looks like Skyrim 2 at first glance.

Edit: right after posting I figured out how to formulate what else I wanted to say but couldn't find the correct words for: "Sadly profitability and quality don't always correlate."

5.5 years? No way they'll shut down this quickly. The next Elder Scrolls alone will carry them into 2030. (As much as I would enjoy you being right though...)

In Season of Discovery, yes. Not on classic though. It was "just" the equivalent to Warchief's Blessing.

They added a few minor changes such as giving Druids access to a new weapon type and an equivalent buff for Alliance which was previously Horde only and a new Guild UI. Those were all things that were part of Season of Discovery.

There shouldn't be an endless grind, and from what I've seen in other interviews, Larian understands that too. They have a couple things they still want(ed) to work on and then move on to their next project(s).

They definitely shipped a complete product last August. So complete that a lot of the industry, or at least a loud minority, was getting upset at the raised standards (lol). I don't see how any consumer could complain.

Have you tried reading it? It's written so poorly that I really hope no human was involved in this and it's just AI generated garbage.

My bad, I wasn't precise enough with what I wanted to say. Of course you can confirm (with astronomically high likelihood) that a screenshot of AI Overview is genuine if you get the same result with the same prompt.

What you can't really do is prove the negative. If someone gets an output then replicating their prompt won't necessarily give you the same output, for a multitude of reasons. e.g. it might take all other things Google knows about you into account, Google might have tweaked something in the last few minutes, the stochasticity of the model is leading to a different output, etc.

Also funny you bring up image generation, where this actually works too in some cases. For example they used the same prompt with multiple different seeds and if there's a cluster of very similar output images, you can surmise that an image looking very close to that was in the training set.

Assuming AI Overview does not cache results, they would be generated at search-time for each user and "search-event" independently. Even recreating the same prompt would not guarantee a similar AI Overview, ~~so there's no way to confirm.~~

Edit: See my comment below for what I actually meant to say
