Xbox's principle development lead for its graphics department has put out a LinkedIn post announcing some new job opportunities. The catch? He used a cringey AI-generated graphic to do so, drawing ire.

Mike Matsel's weekend post calls for those experienced with "device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience". The attached image shows a lady typing away on a computer, with the text displayed on the back of the monitor. Brilliant.

This caught traction online and, as you can imagine, responses to this post are quite negative. Alexander Bertram-Powell wrote: "Appreciate this preview of the care and attention to detail that make you a leader", while Danylo S followed up with: "First layoffs, then post for hire with AI slop, wonderful work, Xbox".

This post came at a bad time, too. Earlier this month, Xbox cut a significant chunk of its workforce across various game developers such as Zenimax Online Studios, Rare, The Initiative, and more.

It's also been reported Microsoft is pushing its remaining employees to use more AI at work in the wake of these layoffs. As such, while a sizable chunk of the company has been let go, those remaining are left handling software that's largely yet to generate any provable increases in productivity or income.

摘要

Xbox's graphics department lead posted job openings on LinkedIn using an AI-generated graphic that received criticism for its poor quality. The post came at a sensitive time following recent layoffs across Xbox and other Microsoft divisions, leading to negative reactions from the tech community. Some commentators noted the irony of using low-quality AI-generated content while encouraging employees to use more AI tools in their work.
