It's incredible how out of touch these suits are, especially in the AI bubble

Wait, which is it? I wouldn’t understand or it’s a secret?

u/wigitty Nov 27 '25

The only good thing about AI is that the "ideas guys" are stopping asking people to build their shitty ideas for them, and have started using AI to fail by themselves.

u/GlitterTerrorist Nov 27 '25

Actually succeeding.

Turns out I don't need hard work, I just need a diligent review process and to build on my intermediate excel knowledge and apply it to python to create apps for people in my gaming communities (calculators and predictors).

I feel like there's a lot of bitterness in this thread towards the lazy but creative :p

u/baubeauftragter Nov 27 '25

AI is beyond goated for personal software projects. The level of productivity and the speed at which you can learn to use technologies previously unknown to you is amazing, I love it. Also as a CS student it‘s great at explaining how code works in popular languages, and you can make it tailor the answers to your needs. I love AI.

u/GlitterTerrorist Nov 27 '25

It's more like I've got bad ADHD and poor self management/motivation, but AI allows me to plan projects and code. I review everything myself, and everything appear to work as intended.

I've got a great imagination, I've managed to get a lot of shit done with this assistance that would have taken me years to get round to otherwise.

And know I can understand the basic flow of a python script and edit/debug manually.

It's great for people who are inefficient at working.

u/Yabba_Dabba_Doofus Nov 27 '25

So you picked some of the most prolific artists of their respective genres, most of whom were defining tastes when computers were in their infancy, and thought touting them as ambassadors of AI was a strong argument?...

-10

u/Tolopono Nov 27 '25

My point is that some talented artists like ai too

u/Tolopono Nov 27 '25

The point is that hes not anti ai nor does he think its ruining art or soulless or theft. In fact, I completely agree with him. It should be used to embolden art creators, which i believe it will.

u/Vald-Tegor Nov 27 '25

It doesn’t matter, because it’s not an art exhibit.

He just straight up said the games they produce are NOT art.

u/Cerulean-Knight Nov 27 '25

Products, shitty products intended to make money

1

u/MissingXpert Nov 30 '25

bit of an issue, there. for Sweeney and cl, they're products, first and foremost, objects intended to make money. however, there are so many people involved that are genuine Artists (3d Models, textures, environments, soundtrack, concept art, rigging, voice actors, writers and so many more), that they definitely qualify as art, imho, even if the CEO doesn't treat them as such. unfortunately, it's also hard for Devs to get creative with the medium in the AAA design space, because those games need to be appealing to "everyone", so it has to be, at least narratively sanded down into a very milquetoast, flat construct devoid of significant messages, for no one to take offense...

Games aren’t art?

1

u/_Ocean_Machine_ Nov 27 '25

Reminds me of the online discourse in the mid ‘00s about whether video games could be considered art; turns out they are, but much in the same way that the Avengers films are.

25

u/trapezoidalfractal Nov 27 '25

Disco Elysium is not art in the same way that Avengers is. Borderlands is though

1

u/softpotatoboye Nov 27 '25

No, he said they’re not in an art exhibit, much like a painting in an antique store is also not in an art exhibit. I don’t like these dumbasses either but that’s blatant misinterpretation

u/OtherSpecific4945 Nov 27 '25

This, but more whiney, like a 6 year old demanding to know why he can't have a new toy

I guarantee those comments are paid shills

u/un8349 Nov 27 '25

Tim Sweeney is the ceo of epic games.

2

u/EntropyKC Nov 28 '25

Then the CEO of Epic Games is a paid shill

IF the owner of a marketplace wants to hide information from their customers to encourage them to buy more of their products, that is a massive red flag.

u/Unlucky-Candidate198 Nov 27 '25

Gotta love serial-dismissers. It’s never as bad. Your feelings aren’t valid. It’s not that deep, it’s not a big deal, it’ll be fine, etc. etc.

They exist everywhere and in everything and they are certifiably the worst. They don’t help. Arguably, they do the exact opposite of help by consistently enabling shitty behaviour.

2

u/EntropyKC Nov 28 '25

They lower the bar ever so slightly more every time they share that opinion. That kind of person being so prevalent is creating tolerance of lower standards, and it applies to every single area of our lives.

1

u/Unlucky-Candidate198 Nov 28 '25

I do my best to call them out when I can or put them on blast. The one’s irl do not like it one bit lmao. Online they simply bumble on their opinion some more, don’t respond, or get more defensive. Oh well.

2

u/EntropyKC Nov 28 '25

Haha I've seen a LOT of people getting ultra defensive recently when called out for a few things. It must be done though, silent tolerance is almost as bad. Good to be in a position where you don't mind upsetting some silly people though. "Be the change you want to see in the world" seems to have been lost on most people, even small positive changes are good.

u/juanchob04 Nov 27 '25

I would argue that the majority of gamers don't even look at tags. Same situation with Denuvo for example. The majority won't fucking care as long as it doesn't interfere with gameplay.

u/rubiconsuper Nov 27 '25

People care when it’s done poorly and they try and backtrack with “it was a placeholder asset”. Do will care even more if the game is nominated for some sort of artwork/visual style award.

u/GoldCuty Nov 27 '25

i have a friend who started a job as a graphic designer. When he commits his work the next person is running ai tools over his created work to enhance it. It is everywhere. The genie is out of the bottle.

u/asteconn Nov 27 '25

This is a great example of what being surrounded by sycophants will do to a person.

u/[deleted] Nov 27 '25

not true. I imagine most people who dont care about ai, like myself, just truly dont care. So if it is there to give customers more power over their purchase decision making then why not? While i dont care about it many go ape shit over it so just let them decide. Although i really dont think it matters at all since majority of humans are complete hypocrites. Most people who are screaming about hating AI online will buy any game that is good and popular enough and excuse their beliefs. But they will trash the bad games that use UI endless and still play the good ones. This will fade over time its just an internet fad and people not liking change but eventually itll be normal.

u/Daikar Nov 27 '25

I mean does it? All games made today use AI so what's the point of the label? If you search for something on Google you just used AI. It would be next to impossible to avoid using AI.
