Thank you to all who have followed our journey of spitting up the mother's milk of AI at the GDC Festival of Gaming 2026. With permission, we will continue tracking AI horseshit in games going forward. You are welcome to stay, and free to go.

I love my tower, where all my friends and I speak the same language as we climb, and we always will! #babel26

been morbidly curious about un*ty’s new ai garbage and got around to watching their gdc update video. and there’s a bit where they go “yeah sometimes setting up ui can be frustrating, so our ai can do that for you.” you Built the Frustrating UI. you have the power to make it Not As Frustrating???

hee hee hee, ho ho ho

You got more room on your plate? How about "GDC went hard in the paint on AI and lost a third of their attendees year over year" bsky.app/profile/mega...

There were multiple banner ads in the GDC halls that espoused the belief that AI code is sloppy (true) and to use an AI tool for sale to clean it up (what)

While attending GDC (Game Developers Conference), I noticed a certain trend among the companies promoting their services:

I often speak to friends and colleagues regarding the game chain. If I had a wife I would speak to her about it as well

“there is no bubble” i say as i all down the stairs, causing my pants to fall down and show everyone my bare bottom

Thank u, we luv 2 jornalism

Just a couple of booths I saw while on the floor at GDC…

Ugly horseshit

Any AI bros wanna meet me for a tangible, production-ready ass-kicking?

The game workers union booth being flanked on all sides by ai booths at GDC feels telling

The games industry: how much AI do we need to replace all developers? Meanwhile indies: #gdc

So much AI bullshit at GDC it’s… disgusting

Dozens of booths of #GDC advertise "AI-powered something". Various types, but most of which promise their service can generate the entire game for you.

The softtek one doesn't seem TOO bad. The rest are gross. Wonder if GDC is going to feel the hit of all this AI stuff polluting their convention.

At GDC and the fact the CWA union booth is flanked on all sides by stands claiming to be able to use AI to make development easier feels too on the nose

The amount of generative AI garbage at GDC is disheartening. Someone was peddling free AI-written books about AI, so at least the local homeless population has access to toliet paper. Gotta be a "glass half full" kind of guy in these trying times.

If you need a quiet moment take a turn or two through the peaceful Corporate Networking Prisons #GDC #GDC26

Horseshit (Presented by German Pavilion)

“there is no bubble” i say as i all down the stairs, causing my pants to fall down and show everyone my bare bottom

COMPUTER, UPLOAD SEXY AI BEAR TO ALL SERVERS IMMEDIATE UPLOAD, COMPUTER PUT HER IN MY META QUEST NOWNOWNOW #GDC #GDC26 #GDC2026

AI is The solution 2 all of my Kung-Fu related issues. My son does not kick my ass any more Thank u, AI #GDC #GDC26 #GDC2026

also rules seeing they have the bare minimum awareness nobody at GDC wants to see ‘gen ai’ in any pitch even if it’s just rephrasing

GDC is all AI this year it's crazy. I imagine like the Silicon Valley intro where all the Metaverse stuff gets replaced by AI.

Mobile Microtransaction Horseshit

Broken horseshit :(

What if I made an AI waifu that hated me, and it WAS Part of It, but she was too good at it and made me feel like my peep was subpar in a REAL non digital way? Grok need response rn plz #GDC26 #GDC #grokdaddyhorny

Same! I love. It

I am begging, straight up pleading with these unfathomably rich pieces of shit to take some of that money and buy themselves some eyebrows

Networking powered by AI has delivered me my ultimate career pairing #GDC #GDC26 #GDC20206

Deeeeeelicious, and not a whiff of horseshit!

I went to the AI panel and no one liked when I called the prostate “Nature’s DeepMind” :;( #GDC #GDC26 #googlegeminicanumarrymydad

I’m gonna burp

Thanks AI, for the #GDC session recommendation. I'll consider attending that one.

The only AI free space in GDC left. They still added microtransaction tents.

From a contributor: AutoMagic patching based on player feedback! A noble solve for all games with bugs, who are doomed to never fix them and live with their failures in perpetuity #GDC #GDC26

Bullshit vanishes, gives way to horseshit

Horseshit

Horseshit

Another exciting day of development! What dawns are YOU most excited to witness today?

what use cases did YOU learn about today? make sure to take notes to be able to take back to your senior managers who tripped into their positions over the course of decades of luck! #gdc #gdc26 #gdc2026

These grifts are the last dying gasps of gen AI horseshit At #GDC last year people where still trying to flog NFT's like somehow that was coming back and I'm sure all these companies will be the last to 'Pivot To Gambling'

It’s the evening, which means the executive movers and shakers are discussing how ChatGPT maximized their efficiencies in doing emails. How long will it take for them to realize their jobs were only emails in the first place? How much of THEIR labor is replaceable?? #GDC #GDC2026 #GDC26

Love to wake up to news of my job being taken over by AI every day

Gemini set up a meeting for me here but they turned me away because my ChatGPT girlfriend told a CEO he was “baldmaxxing” :/ #GDC #GDC26 #GDC2026

stealing the GDC AI teams thunder by setting up a booth next to it where i write "Diablo Builders" on a whiteboard
