It's a good move until generated AI becomes undistinguishable
Lmao. The “organic” labeling has made it to electronics.
Certified Artisanally Hand-Crafter Code
Not sure how to interpret this. The use of any tool can be for good or bad.
If the quality of the game is increased by the use of AI, I'm all for it. If it's used to generate a generic mess, it's probably not going to be interesting enough for me to notice it's existence.
If they mean that they don't use AI to generate art and voice over, I guess it can be good for a medium to large game. But if using AI means it gets made at all, that's better no?
generative ai is a terrible tool, full stop
People want pieces of art made by actual humans. Not garbage from the confident statistics black box.
I'd argue that even if gen-AI art is indistinguishable from human art, human art is better. E.g. when examining a painting you might be wondering what the artist was thinking of, what was going on in their life at the time, what they were trying to convey, what techniques they used and why. For AI art, the answer is simply it's statistically similar to art the model has been trained on.
But, yeah, stuff like game textures usually aren't that deep (and I don't think they're typically crafted by hand by artists passionate about the texture).
Are GEN_AI bookshelves a slippery slope or slopp that artists want to avoid?
I am for the most part angry that people are being put out of work by AI; I actually find AI-generated content interesting sometimes, for example AI Frank Sinatra singing W.A.P. is pretty funny. This label is helpful to me so that I know I'm supporting humans monetarily.
I actually am fascinated by neruo-sama because it really shows that if you assign a face to the ai it instantly becomes so "real" feeling.
They cannot possibly assure customers that remote devs aren't using copilots to help them code.
Generative AI is a technology that can create pictures, movies, audio (music or voice action) and writing using artificial intelligence
By their definition of Gen AI, it's unclear to me if the label says anything about code. I'm not sure I would consider it "writing."
This might be a little off-topic, but I've noticed what seems to be a trend of anti-AI discourse ignoring programmers. Protect artists, writers, animators, actors, voice-actors... programmers, who? No idea if it's because they're partly to blame, or people are simply unaware code is also stolen by AI companies—still waiting on that GitHub Copilot lawsuit—but the end result appears to be a general lack of care about GenAI in coding.
LLMs are going to make senior devs indespensable. So far from what I've seen, it's not great at solving unusual cases, and it most shines in boilerplate and generic problems.
So juniors are never going to learn to code, and then companies will have to pay for experienced people.
Juniors never think hard about unionizing, and the seniors will have job security and therefore not strong motivation.
I hope devs will unionize in any case, LLMs or not, like any other specialization.
Good shit. A carefully thought out handcrafted experience will always be better than interactive slop.
Reminds me of the 70s when suddenly everything was "Eco-Friendly".
I remember an old song "I'll go green when they go green and they'll go green but not really green more like aquamarine" and it appears to no longer exist on the internet.
Another song I can't find is about a guy who tells the story of all his past lives and in each he was a whore and someday he'll be a whore again.
Really wish songs would stop disappearing.
