Comment on Active Matter developers put up an incredibly distasteful AI notice on Steam

Sometimes people try to make a joke and they miss. I don’t think i would assume malice without additional red flags.

It does raise the issue that if you want to use a synth voice for a robot, are people going to skip your game just because of the AI disclosure without reading it? I can understand why they would be nervous about it.

Update - 10:39 UTC - Gaijin replied and simply said:
“We do not use generative AI for anything other than for Ms. Second. And even there, the choice is deliberate: we use an AI-generated voice not to cut costs, or speed up production, but because we see it as a postmodern artistic statement – an AI character quite literally speaking with an AI-generated voice”

Update #2 - 13:04 UTC - Gaijin followed up to say:
“In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That’s all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place.”

No, it’s even stupider than a bad joke - these are roku’s basilisk idiots.
