Ok now, imagine if someone turned your God of War game into an isometric RPG with text only dialog trees. Change is no big deal until it’s something you enjoy. 

Not sure why you’re saying fans like it’s ironic. Yes, if the sequel to a series they’ve been waiting on for years comes out and is a fundamentally different type of game, many of them will be disappointed. That’s not new or hard to understand.

I saw a movie called A Boy and his Dog, a movie about a nuclear wasteland where the protagonist and his telepathic talking dog was looking for food and women to rape. Everybody referred to women as “females” and when they actually found one that had been raped and murdered the kid complained that he didn’t get a…

Found one.

It’s really terrible when people jump to disrespectul conclusions. Anyway, like I was saying, most western men are feminine and weak...

Counter: what if you’re leading a team of five people and everyone is amazing. This policy forces you to pick one of them as the “worst”, and suddenly that person’s financial and employment situation takes a direct hit.

So? Is JK Rowling entitled to everyone’s $70 now? Do people no longer have the right to refuse to buy a product or else it counts as “cancelling?”

The only time when devs were “semi-anonymous” was back in very early days of the industry when game publishers forbade devs from taking credit for their work, and developers hated that situation so much that they began sneaking their names into the games without their bosses’ knowledge, which is where the first Easter…

As always, there’s an XKCD for this.

Being disliked because of your personality, views and actions isn’t cancel culture, it’s just people not liking you or your work. It’s a part of the package deal of making something to entertain people. There’s is a chance you suck so much that people don’t like your work anymore. That’s just consequences.

If you think these hobbies are only accessible to trust fund babies you have a skewed view of reality. Not to mention that this ad hominem has no actual bearing on the point I was making.

If a human made an exact copy of another human’s drawing, or if they made a “new” drawing by cutting apart other drawings and reassembling them in a different arrangement, those things would be blatant cases of copyright infringement (*excluding certain specific situations that are covered under the fair use clause,…

This! Blatantly mimicking other people’s style is pretty much the entire history of art. Jhonen Vasquez was inspired by Tim Burton, Vincent van Gogh was inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e, while Picasso was influenced by African art. No artist in history can claim their style is 100% their own, and they certainly didn’t…

This is factually incorrect and doesn’t even pass a basic logic test: if AI is just storing and ‘collaging’ existing art, why is the offline (offline remember, once training is done, you dont need internet to run one of these) training data from hundreds of gigabytes to terabytes of art data, only a few gigs or even…

No this is spoken by someone who has clearly never learned a skill or craft. I’ve learned several. I paint, I’ve done woodworking, I play card games competitively. So I’m well fucking aware of how nothing I do is wholly original. The majority of what I’ve learned over the years I’ve learned by copying others. I see a…

“If a human made an exact copy of another human’s drawing”

This is always going to be a super problematic argument because what critics of AI art don’t want to admit is that human artists train themselves on vast amounts of copyrighted work with “no consent, no credit, and no compensation”. There are thousands of artists who have learned to ape other artists styles, and based…

Noooooo really? The guy who was vocally anti-me too is a BAD GUY? I am SHOCKED

Wow, shocked he finally got caught after years of everyone in Hollywood knowing what a piece of shit he is. Know multiple people with personal experience on his productions with stories of sexual harassment. Didn’t think he’d ever get in trouble, his projects make too much money.
