I really hope their next game smashes it too after this statement. Has potential to pave the way for the rest of the industry.
You can always tell the people with no artistic talent because they don’t understand how AI is different than digital art software like PhotoShop. And they seem to think that artists should just accept having their life’s work stolen and vomited up as slop.
Fuck anyone who thinks like this. They think they are entitled to my creativity without doing any of the work.
“Everyone is doing it.” The absolute degeneration of morality in this era is mind boggling. Have no morals, seek only profit. The fact that so many people cannot take a stand for integrity because of perceived pragmatism is sickening.
I hope anyone that thinks like this gets the AI slop filled hell they deserve. And I hope their careers are the next to be axed and replaced by the plagiarism machines.
Yeah the AI slop hell that gives us terrible slop like expedition 33. Shudder at the thought

What are you getting at? Do you have a point other than a snarky one liner?

But i was responding to a specific comment with well enough context to understand what i mean. If something’s unclear about it you can ask about it in a non passive agressive way and maybe i can help you out.

Nature is healing.
The anti AI crowd is getting crazy. Everyone uses it during development.
It’s a tool for fuck’s sake, what’s next? Banning designers from using Photoshop because using it is faster and thus taking jobs from multiple artists who would have to be employed otherwise?

I didn’t mean it in the literal sense but if it makes you happy, we can pretend that whenever someone says “everyone” they mean it literally.

Have you seen the pro-AI crowd? The most insane people currently in the tech world.
I did and you’re right. That’s why I’m firmly in the “it’s just a fucking tool” gang.
Both people who treat it like a messiah and those who treat it like the worst thing ever seem pretty much insane to me.
An unethically developed tool that’s burning the planet faster with the ultimate goal of starving the working class out of society.
Inb4 alarmism lol tell me the fucking lie if you can.
Dude, go touch grass, please. This is embarrassing.
Not everyone, and it probably multiplies review time 10 fold. Makes maintenance horrible. It doesn’t save time, just moves it and makes devs dumber and unable to justify coding choices the AI generates.
I mean, it’s a tool. You can use a hammer to smash someone’s skull in or you can use it to put some nail on a wall.
If you see it used like that, it’s shitty developers, the AI is not to blame. Don’t get me wrong, I do have coworkers who use it like this and it sucks. One literally told to next time tell Copilot directly what to fix when I’m doing a review.
But overall it helps if you know how and most importantly when to use it.
AI writes buggy and insecure code. It is not usable for any task beyond simple ones, such as asking what color is a carrot, given how much it hallucinates. You should check out Microsoft, with all their infrastructure outages, Windows bugs, and constant screw ups, as an example of the consequences.
That simply isn’t true. It’s really great at a certain kind of tasks. And it does help you be more productive if you learn to use it well.
And yeah, the code is sometimes buggy and sometimes insecure. That’s why you can’t just blindly merge whatever it writes.
I’m not going to fault someone for driving to work in a car, but I certainly wouldn’t call them the winner of a marathon even if they only drove for a few minutes of that marathon.
There’s a difference between something that runs the race for you (LLM AI) and something that simply helps you do what you are already doing (I suppose photoshop is the equivalent of drinking gatorade).
I don’t think that’s a relevant comparison - marathon is a race meant specifically to test what the human body is capable of. Using a car there is obviously against the goal of the competition.
When I’m writing code, I’ll happily offload the boring parts to AI. There’s only so many times you can solve the same problem without it being boring. And I’ve been doing this long enough that actually new problems I haven’t solved yet are pretty rare.
Use your AI generation all you want but don’t enter a painting contest using machine generated content trained on other people’s work without their consent.
Do human artists usually get consent before training on content freely available on the Internet?
There are plenty of reasons to hate on AI, but this reason is just being pissed that a silicon brain did it instead of a carbon one.
The fact that you’re comparing human artists to slop machines is really sad. There is no “silicone brain” making any of this stuff. I think you should take a few minutes and learn how this stuff works before making these comparisons.
Right, because computers don’t use silicone.
But Gen AI is modeled after the way the brain works, so maybe you need to learn how it works before arguing against an accurate comparison.
Wow thank you for this comment. It helps detail your level of knowledge on this subject, which is very helpful to myself and others. There is nothing else to discuss here on my end.
Alrighty, so generative AI works by giving it training data and it transforms that data and then generates something based on a prompt and how that prompt is related to the training data it has.
That’s not functionally different from how commissioned human artists work. They train on publicly available works, their brain transforms and stores that data and uses it to generate a work based on a prompt. They even often directly use a reference work to generate their own without permission from the original artist.
Like I said, there are tons of valid criticisms against Gen AI, but this criticism just boils down to “AI bad because it’s not a human exploiting other’s work.”
And all of this is ignoring the fact that ethically trained Gen AI models exist.
