i would rather have ugly dev pixel art than AI generated art any day

Its like these are TRAINABLE skills you can get good at them, you just have to have the passion and drive to do it. Anyone can be good at art or coding, and building and using those skills is a sign of the love and care for what you make.

AI ”art” is really the worst! i’d rather have something ugly as f*ck made by a human than AI slop art, with zero human emotion behind it

"But we can't compete without using AI" Yes you can. The games market was already flooded to the point players were swarmed with garbage. This didn't change with aigen. You'll still have to do something to differentiate yourself. I'd advise not choosing "we're embracing slop" as your differenciator.

Memes aside, Undertale is a great example. It was almost exclusively Toby Fox who made the game and it's an amazing game.

unless it actually is their birthday, then they get a pass just for that *one* day....

LITERALLY, and like HELLO STARDEW VALLEY!?

I wouldn't even attribute to laziness, but rather a lack of care for what they're actually making. From the artistic view point ai is the death of the passion of what makes art, if you outsource the creative process, you outsource the feelings and desires the art deserves.

As is deserved

They wouldnt handle the shmup community

Team Cherry is a team consisting of 3 people. They created some of the best Metroidvanias ever made with zero AI. Anyone who says they need it because their a small team is a piss baby and can eat my ass. AI is a slop machine and should be shunned.

Oh yeah the evolution of "disclosures" are fascinating.

“None of it made into the final game, it was just to ✨inspire✨ us”

👏

YOU GUYS HATE AI TOO!?! I think we're gonna be good friends on our planet everything even the toilets have AI. Pretty annoying

best take

ACTUAL skill issue, though. A.I. is legitimately causing people to lose the skills they had before using A.I.

it's like if a pedophile said "oh don't worry the little girl consented so it's okay"

Alright muting this now as Umm yeah I am not used to having posts blow up this much so uhh yeah fuck AI and glad y'all agree

Ok this post is blowing up a bit so obligatory plug time. I know for a fact a bunch of you are queer and love TTRPGs so feel free to check out my channel dedicated to reviewing and talking about TTRPGs with 0 AI INVOLVEMENT. www.youtube.com/@DevalDeets

NOT AN AI DEFENDER CALLING ME A LUDDITE LMAOOOOO Anyway Im sure this thread will become a nice block list for chuds, so block away.

I'm not sure any modern games let me: 1) harvest the bones of everyone who dares attack my fort 2) polish, encrust with jewels, and mount the attractive bones over the gate; and, 3) sharpen and load the ugly bones into water cannon that turns elephants to ground chuck

True. My new bad games are much better than my old bad games, and all my bad games have soul.

Or an AI program that can go through someone's entire genetic code and detect possible irregularities and try help them before they could cause them medical issues later. Thats AI I want to see.

I agree. AI should be used for helping make lives easier. Not for art or creativity. It has none, I would rather see AI doing dishes than making a game.

Hey at least we can make fun of Jonathan Blow for using AI in his new game that nobody cares about

A dlc I've been looking forward to for a while is gonna use AI voices for certain localizations and I feel conflicted about it. On one hand, it's very minor and something I won't have to engage with, but it still makes me feel a little icky

Lol, I had the exact same thoughts! Funny with how they word those stupid AI disclosures can give the exact same feeling of disgusting “innocence” bsky.app/profile/sawr...
