In a recent controversy, an Xbox Game Studios producer suggested that developers affected by Microsofts layoffs should utilize AI tools for career planning and emotional clarity. This comment, made by executive producer Matt Turnbull, sparked significant backlash from the gaming community, particularly given the context of the layoffs affecting thousands of employees and multiple project cancellations. Turnbull’s post, which has since been deleted, included prompts for using AI tools like ChatGPT to navigate feelings of impostor syndrome and to assist with networking and outreach.
