A game about using capitalism to bankrupt as many people as possible, enhanced to encourage people into going broke gambling on bells and whistles.

Says a lot about the self-awareness of anyone spending consistently on it.

And all for a game that is, to put it very simply: fucking awful.

The core of art is human expression. Without the human, it’s just a waste of time.

If one were to completely ignore the limitations of AI, the best use case possible that I could see is, say, as the “announcer” or commentator in Madden or another sports game. You’d never be able to get enough hours of a voice actor in a recording booth to recreate that.

Extremely sparse use of AI can have its benefits, like getting an extra centimeter on the edge of a photo using Generative Fill in Photoshop. That shit works well enough that it’s actually useful, but anything 100% AI-generated can go burn in hell. I received a “pitch” from a “marketing company” that gave us a “sample…

Well, it’s not stopping them from taking more, is it?

The Model T was revolutionary at the time, nobody cared that you had to crank it because there was nothing to compare it to. It was an amazing thing at the time. We only think Model T’s were trash now because of the context of 100 years of automobile development.

I would say though that the dynamic generated quest concept itself if kind of the problem though.

By very definition.... it’s filler that’s trying to claim it isn’t and generally is only just above a fetch quest. And specifically it’s filler that make it clear it’s trying to extend playtime by producing the idea of…

“Given how fast AI is advancing” feels like a bit of a difficult thing for me though; are there a lot of businesses trying to push it more and more as projects they began 2-3 years ago are coming to fruition before a ship could even be turned? Perhaps.

But as an actual tech I feel it’s kinda.... plateauing? Even as…

Unspoken in all this AI hype is the pants-pissing dread the techbro class is feeling as it begins to dawn on them that, A) they need humans to do things they don’t understand, B) humans will not generally work for free, and C) their investors are very, very upset at the idea of paying humans.

Yes. AI is just a tool right now for the business executives, and they’re not exactly bastions nor patrons of human creativity, let alone humanity. They see nothing but numbers and gains.

I’ll be willing to support AI when it’s used to replace the people that make these kinds of decisions.

I don’t disagree, but I had meant that with the technology and how it’s being used by an increasingly antagonistic business executive class against the working class to control people’s likeness, art styles, voices, etc, when it’s pretty well known the executive class don’t contribute to projects creatively but assert…

My version is funnier!

Control really isn’t the issue. Executives already have control. The real end-game is laying off the majority of staff, working with a skeleton crew (if anyone at all) and forgoing hundreds of salaries and benefits packages, increasing their bottom line exponentially.

Reminds of the stupid fucking AI voice used in so many TikTok videos. It’s beyond grating to me ears. I really can’t fathrom how anyone can sit there and actively listen to something so goddamn fucking annoying.

I feel AI is just a product that gives the soulless executives the reins of control from the creative people that we take for granted. This is quite the expression of such.

They sound terrible because they are dry and emotionless. there is no subtle changes in tone or pitch that often carry a lot of meaning.

Here’s an idea for Nvidia: Fuck all the way off
