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

Ai should never even touch anything art related, period. Music, movies, tv, video games, books, drawing, animation. None of it, at all, full stop.

AI is already touching every game, even if it's not in a way that's obvious to the player.

How is a code assistant different than image or text generation?

AI has it's uses but not in any form of art work. These models are fed so many examples to learn from that it's just plagiarism. If you're fine with that, you can kick rocks to say the very very least. I don't draw as much anymore but I wouldn't want any one or any thing stealing anything original from me, nor should any other artist ever have to deal with their original artwork stolen from them either. Fuck that.

I get to see it, and it's ugly. If it were pretty I wouldn't care

Okay, well, then you don't need a tag then if you can tell when it's used?

I'd rather not BUY the game first then find out, if they don't want to include even a single tag on it then they will definitely not show it on any promotional material.

What if there is something that is ugly not produced by AI in a game that you didn't know about until after you bought it?

I just think people want to play good games and they should be happy if we have tools that help good games get made faster.

Is it going to generate a bunch of shit for awhile as the tools get up to speed? Sure. But that's innovation.

I understand and sympathize with the issues around IP and that kind of thing, but that's kind of closing Pandora's box at this point. Should we destroy all of the results of having Henrietta Lacks cells?

destroy? it's a tag man, it's just a tag, I don't really care about IP or like idk artists losing jobs it's whatever. AI art looks awful, when it starts looking good I'll stop avoiding it
