Developers of Party Animals announce an AI video contest - game gets a review bomb

AI isnt going anywhere as much as these anti-AI people would love to, its like thinking in the 90's that internet will go away.

all this review bombing studios just mentioning of AI will just make them just hide their usage of AI

Quoting: ahjolinnaAI isnt going anywhere as much as these anti-AI people would love to, its like thinking in the 90's that internet will go away.

It probably is, whether anti-AI or pro-AI people want it to or not. Not entirely, but the big AI companies responsible for most of the current use and nearly all the current hype are losing money at high speed; when they go bankrupt they will no longer be offering their current services.
Some of the cheaper Chinese stuff will still be around, I expect.

I know you did not quote me, but:

Quoting: KimyrielleYou know, when other people decide to use a technology you don't agree with, in most cases, you have a right to STFU and respect their choice, even if you don't like it. You dislike AI? Don't use it!

What a joke! Even if someone does not use LLMs, they still have to pay the price, as all of us. As told above via environmental costs, some living close to new mega data centers increasing their power bills a lot, others cannot buy any longer 16 gigs of RAM and if I have to research 3 times as much as in pre-LLM-times and sell my product, my customers have to pay for the additional time, no matter if they use LLM or not. And who pays for all the copyright holders which works are stolen?

To turn your own words against you: If you want to use LLMs, don't put the costs onto all of us and future generations and pay the whole bill yourself (including paying for work that is part of the LLM archiv). Respect their choices and don't put slop everywhere under their noses. If you do so, no one will complain any longer. But I bet, that claim of "respect" is a one way ticket...

Quoting: ahjolinnaAI isnt going anywhere ...

Neither is chlamydia, and I ain't inviting that in my life either.

I am not going to dissect that drivel, but what part of

What's NOT fair game is review-bombing a game that isn't even using AI,

is so hard to understand, really? All of it?

"Our original goal was to lower the barrier to creation. In past contests, we saw players with great ideas and scripts who couldn’t fully bring them to life because they weren’t familiar with tools like editing, modeling, or animation software. We hoped AI could be a more accessible tool that lets more people take part."

sigh, what happened to literature? have anyone there ever read an book? if they want to include people who dont know how to use editing software, modeling, animating etc, why not make an category "best idea" and other "best execution" ?

serious, are people that dense?

"To us, AI is just another tool. What we truly care about is the idea, the expression, and the final work."

speaking of not knowing how to read the room, they dont know how to read the room?
just an tool? they mean an plagiarism machine that create a bunch of slop without an soul?
they literally doubled down on it by simplifing it to "just a tool" as if there was no difference for other tools.

caring about the "final work", as if the effort the artists put into it were meaningless.
an good drawing is the personification of the effort an artist put into learning how to draw and drawing an specific piece of work, not just one "hey, look, it looks cool right?" content.
hell i hate the world content.

future generations who grow up with ai, will never understand what is looking at an piece of art and geting inspired, desiring to be as good as the artist one day and actually puting the effort into it.

Quoting: scaineJust another hammer - small catch, every time you use it, someone dies. But yeah, it's just another tool. Would you use that hammer?

*yes, that's an exaggeration, but it feels like absurd arguments like that are the only way to land the point in the face of tech-bro'ism these days.

not at all, people losing their jobs and not being able to find another one, might mean people will die.
