If you've ever argued against Dark Souls being easier, then you should recognize support of AI as the hypocrisy of a casual. Yes, artists & programmers do a lot of swearing. Yes, parts of the process are tedious. Yes, they fail, repeatedly. That is how they GIT GUD.

Imagine if beating Dark Souls with a suboptimal build produced an ACTUAL accomplishment, not just a sense of one. Imagine if those accomplishments were being validated well outside a circlejerk of dim flippant try-hards. That's what makes the frustration, grind, and tedium of human arts worth it.

Oooh, I love this comparison! It IS hard to make art and code and crotchet and write, but it makes a story, a journey, one improves their own skills. If someone just buys tokens and tosses them in the slopmachine, they never do anything that helps them feel good beyond the moment.

Um, Did not our very own Commander argue in Favour of an easy mode for Dark Souls? Or am I getting hung up on the metaphor and missing the point?

I'm not defending the argument, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of those who make it also trending towards a pro-AI stance. Dark Souls is a game, art is LIFE.
