So much for improving mutual understanding, it seems like you’d rather plug your ears when people say you’re wrong.

I’m not going to beg you to get you to defend your made up position. Why should I supplicate myself or entertain you? How entitled, no wonder you need AI to do anything

First of all, missing my point in bringing up the fog mechanic. It was a limitation that they found a clever workaround for that ended up enhancing the game greatly. If they didn’t have that limitation, there wouldn’t be the fog, and the game would suffer from it.

Secondly, don’t try to pull the “oh AI is rebellious anti corporation tech” bullshit, AI is made and run by nothing but huge corporations with large financial backing who are making evil corpo garbage. You’re not a rebel for using it, you’re just another bootlicker.

Yeah, they are functionally different.

“there’s proof out there I swear I just won’t show it to you and really that means my opinion is right and people in general don’t hate AI I swear guys”

You’re talking about your supposed right to enforce your idea of ethics on people who don’t agree with you, in a situation where there is no universal consensus, there is no law backing you up…

Uh yeah man there’s some people who are actually ok with having the brain worms inserted into other people’s ears? Sure it kills them and it’s being used for genocide but there’s no law against brain worms and since there’s like, a handful of people ok with it and it’s not 100% universally condoned ethically and it’s not illegal everywhere then how could you possibly be so mean to impose your morality on other people?!

That’s what you sound like.

“Oh hey billionaires are making Earth destroying computers that are killing jobs and stealing art and music and saying humans are better off without doing the one thing that we’ve always regarded as fundamental for humanity, but some idiots like instant gratification so they are ok with it, so no one should be saying anything bad about the earth destroying theft machines”

Or, like in the past, people figure out solutions to the limitations and make something new. The fog in silent Hill is an example.

I’d rather pay for a game that looks shittier and handmade than ai garbage.

I think it is nefarious to use AI and developers who use it should be ashamed. No one is organizing hate campaigns, AI literally is so disliked people will rally against it organically.

Many people say AI sucks and they hate it? Must be an organized campaign and not just a widely held opinion!

You can’t? It’s impossible? I can think of three ways, off the dome, you could do this without AI.

1- stock photo images and vocaloid voices, using an audio overlay so it sounds like it’s just a weird interference.

2- literally use friends, family, and their friends and family for the project. Random people from the Internet who would have fun with it. Anyone who needs to pad their portfolio for acting, headshots, and voicework. Network your solution.

3- do a patrion or go fund me or whatever and one of the tiers, or the lowest tier, is that you get to be in the game.

Hell, for bonus ideas that are things you thought of already, just draw em and do so the voices and it’ll be crappy but that’s fun, actually bite the bullet and pay people, or like you said, do without.

Using AI is giving up. All those games where part of the appeal was the effort they put into it would be nothingburgers if they used AI. Cuphead took off because it was all hand animated, and if they used regular computer animation people wouldn’t have cared half as much, and now it’s got it’s own cartoon and people are still buying merch for it.

So yeah, if you wanna cut corners and use AI, go right ahead, but people will know you decided to waste a huge amount of energy and water to make a lower end product.

Or… you could always figure something else out and let people see the effort you put into this project you care about, and let that effort be part of the selling point. We want games people put effort into, so please don’t water down your grand idea with slop.
