Smash JT Asked ChatGPT to Summarize the Dragon Age: The Veilguard Reviews

So what happens if you ask a Large Language Model to summarize the glowing reviews, from what Nerdrotic calls the Access Media^‡, for a Woke As-F video game?

It is exactly what you would expect.

Dragon Age is a series of fantasy role-playing video games. According to the Wiki, it started as follows.

The first game in the series, Dragon Age: Origins, follows the story of a recent recruit to a legendary order of warriors known as the Grey Wardens. Their mission is to save the kingdom of Ferelden from being overrun by the Darkspawn, a monstrous race of subterranean-dwelling beings who swarm the surface world every few hundred years in a movement known as a Blight.

The fourth entry in the series is set to be released on Thursday. If you're interested, real reviewers, like Az of HeelVsBabyface, will buy the game with their own money, and stream playing it. Better bet than believing the folks who got early access.

But back to Smash JT, and ChatGPT.

And what they said... Holy crap I wasn't prepared for this.

The reviews, as summarized by the AI, claim that the game is "mainstream." It might have been in the past, but not the present.

The overall summary, generated by AI, discusses everything except the game itself, which you would think is why people would want to be playing this game. Nothing in the review summary says anything about any of that. It's all about sexuality dialogue choices, and how people are feeling when they wake up one day.

I'm like how is this a Dragon Age game? What are we doing?

This is the Smash JT video Dragon Age: The Veilguard Review Situation is a DEIsaster!

Here is the associated article from SmashJT.com:

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is quite the... specimen for the modern audience. It's getting rave reviews, from reviewers who are extremely queer, or trans, or identify as other parts of the LQBTQ+ spectrum. The review situation is a clusterfck in itself, where some reviewers claim they didn't get codes because they may have appeared too critical of the games prospects leading up to launch, while other, trans reviewers, were given codes out like candy on Halloween...

‡ "Access Media" because they depend on access - mostly prior access - to movies, TV, or video games. There are a couple of instances where people who were less-than-enthusiastic in a first look at this game, who were excluded from advance access to the game in order to produce reviews. Don't say good things, even if they're true, and you will be cut off.

Of course if you lie about games, movies, whatever, too much, eventually you become a critic with no audience, which is where a lot of "mainstream" game media finds itself.
