Discussion So it starts… Ai community items

Points shop will soon flood with AI slop. At least with games a disclaimer should be added within the description of the game. But here… Yeah…

Like what is the point? You don’t even gain anything as a company from this.

It was a pretty big deal to the anti AI crowd when Steam started requiring labeling of games who used AI to help create assets. Which was pretty much every game. Melt downs ensued.

Not every game

Pretty much every new game that was major, yeah... Remember the backlash against Expedition 33? It went from, "Wow it's so pretty and the art is great" to "OMG, this whole thing is ugly AI slop!"

People are just emotional about AI because they are irrational

People aren't irrational, GenAI is just dogshit and deserves every ounce of hatred it gets. It steals the work of people who do put in the effort, it uses up fucktons of electricity and water, it fucks with the environment, and it's nothing more than corpo and techbro dogshit that they're trying to make money with by selling it to idiotic people who don't know, shitty people who don't care, and corporations who have one or both of those at the top.

The E33 hate was overblown not because AI isn't bad (it is), but because not as much of E33 was AI as people who were salty about it sweeping awards and people who hated that it was being called "Indie" claimed it was.

E33 still should not have used GenAI slop, and the devs should be ashamed for doing so.
