It's another bleak time in the game industry, as Microsoft announced 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:its fourth round of 🍌cuts in just 18 months. While some projects, like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hideo Kojima's OD, remain safe, others weren't so lucky. Rare's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:long-in-development🧜 Everwild was can♈ned, as was the Perfect Dark reboot, with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Initiative completely closed in the prꦚocess. Doom Creator 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:John Romero's studio also faced huge cut🎀s and a potential closure, and the Forza Motorsport studio, Turn 10, lost 50 percent of its staff, with the expectation that the remainder would be used as support for Forz♚a Horizon.

With so many developers back on the job market, I'm sure most counsel is welcome. However, while many are looking for support, it may be best to ignore the tone-deaf advice given by Xbox exec𒐪utive producer Matt Turnbull, who suggested that those laid off turn to ChatGPT and Microsoft's own Copilot for support.

Xbox Executive Recommends Job Seekers Use LLM AI Tools "To Help Reduce The Emotional And Cognitive Load That Comes With Job Loss"

Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea. —

In a now-deleted LinkedIn post, shared on , Turnbull, who previously worked for Turn 10 Studios, starts sincere, telling those affected "yꦕou're not alone, and you don't have to go it alone," before his post devolves into a completely inhuman pitch about how those who lost their jobs should use ChatGPT or Copilot to aid their j🥂ob search.

Turnbull suggests asking an AI chatbot to "act as a career coach," and to help those affected "build a 30-day plan to regroup, research new roles, and start applying without burning out." He also recommends they use AI to rewrite their CV to fit triple-A, small studio, and platform/publishing roles and to draft a new LinkedIn 'About Me' sec💙tion.

It doesn't 🍸stop there, though. D🔜espite suggesting "No AI tool is a replacement for your voice," Turnbull tells his former employees to use AI to "draft a friendly message I can send to old coworkers" and to "write a warm intro message for reaching out to someone" about job postings, completely replacing their voice in the process. He also suggests a prompt for AI to give them confidence when they're dealing with impostor syndrome.

Given that this latest round of layoffs has been attribu🐓ted to , it's a mind-bogglingly thoughtless post, and it's no wonder the executive swiftly moved to delete it.
