This article, and the product it’s about, are dumb even by current GMG standards. Well done.

So so ridiculous.  Agree with others, the internet was a mistake.

Someone with object permanence “Hm, Nintendo basically ALWAYS copyright strikes or issues a cease and desist for fanworks. Seems like making one of those comes with the obvious risk that Nintendo will destroy your project.”

Seriously. Focusing on one while ignoring the other feels like “Just don’t look over here.”

Actors lobby for roles/projects they admire all, the, time, on social media. It seems weirdly roundabout to connect it to the (failed) box office draw for Shazam. 

Can you please freaking stop spoiling this show? If HBO wanted us all to know what it was, wouldn’t they name the episode after it? And holy crap STOP spoiling in the URL’s! The episode came out last night, people have things to do and can’t always watch it on time. If this has to be why I stop reading Kotaku then so…

You guys aren’t trying to keep much of a following these days, are you? Give people the weekend to catch up dude. 

The show doesn’t explain it to us... because they show it to us. 

i think you’re short-selling the depth of creativity here.

Literally nobody “makes something on their own.” Every artist is dependent on the full body of art they trained their eye on, just as diffusion models are.

Spot on. I think Kotaku comments are a bad representation of anything other than Kotaku commenters, so I’m kinda of the opinion that most people seem to agree with this idea. Once they get past the initial “who got fucked over by WHAT? Fuck that thing!” reaction which is an entirely reasonable one.

“AI art isn’t really art as we commonly define it, as it wasn’t created by humans”

I think some of the bigger publishers have blacklisted Kotaku so that kinda hurts reviewing games until a significant length of time after the game comes out.  

Let’s be honest about something with a lot of the the comments here... A lot of people are excusing what he did because Major Corporation.

You ever see that episode of Family Guy where Peter learns what the word Pedantic means?

cool, you both managed to paint us as victims and denigrate the work we release in the same breath, in order to justify actions that are against our - as developers, on an individual level - wishes

My sympathy is with the CM who probably has or will lose their job over this twatwaffle’s action now that they’re public because they’re the one who worked with him.
