Writing in the Age of LLMs: A Creative Professional’s Roundtable
Large language models and generative AI are developing rapidly. They're embedded in our phones, our web browsers, and are increasingly shaping the global economy. Meanwhile, creative professionals across nearly every discipline of game development are grappling with fundamental questions about their craft and future. This roundtable brings together developers, designers, and writers for an honest, open conversation about navigating this new landscape.
This roundtable is not a debate about whether AI is good or bad. As a baseline, participants should be able to acknowledge the environmental and ethical concerns around this technology while remaining open to its potential to shape the future. This session is intended as a safe space to share our fears about job displacement and creative devaluation, our hopes for new creative possibilities and efficiency gains, our strategies for adapting our workflows and skills, and practical tips for working with (or around) these tools.
Whether you're an AI skeptic, enthusiast, or somewhere in between, all perspectives are welcome. The only requirement is a willingness to listen and engage respectfully. As writers and creatives, our job has always been to imagine new possibilities—let's explore together what opportunities might emerge, what risks we must remain vigilant for, and how we can shape this moment thoughtfully. Come with your questions, experiences, and uncertainties. Leave with new perspectives, practical insights, and a community navigating this transition alongside you.
