I finally played through Avowed a week or two ago and went in with low expectations. I had heard all around that it was a decent 7/10 game, but I was pleasantly surprised.
It's not New Vegas 2 or anything, I think most of the people who worked on FNV have long since left, but I still really appreciate Obsidian games for what they are.
I don't have a tablet, but I use ibisPaint on my phone.
I don't think "some kid" experiencing "great joy" at AI slop is worth the spam from scammers and environmental impacts.
Also, the majority of people using AI are not running it locally. If people were running it locally, on low power to preserve the environment, with content that artists consented to have trained, to use exclusively for non-commercial use, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
But that isn't reality.
Cars are dangerous, yet we live in a society that...
Cars are dangerous, that's why they can only be used by licensed operators (both for safety and environmental impact), are heavily regulated, and still have problems coming from overreliance that would have been easier to solve before we built infrastructure around them.
It's why we've seen things like walkable cities and public transit come back as popular ideas.
It's fun. Basically an adult version of playing wolves on the playground. Or warrior cats.
I can't speak for your party, but if I were in your campaign, I would vastly prefer silly doodles over some disposable AI image.
Also, I have genuinely never in my 29 years of life heard people say anything like this.
Look at the comment they are replying to.
I don't think there's really a "demand" per se. It seems to me like the vast vast majority of AI "art" and text is spam. Many of these users seem to be using cheap/free versions of whatever LLM or image generators.
OpenAI is by far the most popular, but also said that even on the most expensive $200/month plan, they are losing money.
Is this "demand" going to exist if and when they inevitably raise the price?
If and when Facebook makes changes to how they monetize posts, will the shrimp Jesus spammers move on to the next scheme?
Will the businesses using AI for customer service and data entry keep using it if it costs more than using human employees?
This whole "industry" is teetering on a knifes edge.
Nope, at least not on Firefox or edge.
Edit: You have to switch on large puzzle UI in experimental settings.
This looks cool, but even on my desktop the text for the rules is way too small.
I don't think it's "abandoned," I think it's just "done." It's like a $5 indie game made by a solo dev, there isn't an unfinished road map or anything.
IIRC, it's a roguelike card game a la Balatro.
