Ron Perlman says he did the Fallout intro for $40 and a sandwich, he's never played it, and he's not interested in trying: 'The whole Fallout thing is a mystery to me' (www.pcgamer.com)

The intro they speak of is the phrase “War. War never changes”. That article could have been a single paragraph.

His turns in Fallout are especially interesting because they're his most iconic videogame work, and yet it's only four simple words: "War. War never changes." The intro to each Fallout game spins off differently from there, but those four words are an essential pillar of the series, every bit as thematically foundational as power armor or Nuka Cola.

I’m so jaded these days I can see a writer doing a few paragraphs, and asking an LLM to fluff it up.

Writers were turning sentences into full articles long before LLMs, though

True, but that at least took some time and effort. Now the production of slop has been automated.
