just a reminder that having no voice acting at all is way better than using generated voices!
there are VAs for every budget! there are often volunteers online on discord & castingcallclub ! heck, voice it yourself-- it's so cool when devs do that. there is always a way.
As someone who always used to be excited for new tech, I am not interested anymore. Everything has gotten so greedy, addictive, expensive and exclusive. They don't solve problems, they create them, and then try to sell you the solution. We're in literal technology hell.
This is what I was tweeting about yesterday. We can no longer rely on the assumption ai will be visually distinct or bad looking. Yesterday I heard an ai song that was horrifyingly good to where I was shocked it was ai. You must be against ai on principle, not bc of aesthetic
mind you we wouldn’t be this extreme heatwave if yous twats could make a shopping list or plan a holiday or i dont know write a fucking email without using ai
AND I DONT WANNA SEE A SINGLE MOTHERFUCKER BLAMING VALVE FOR THIS
please direct all your hatred to sam altman elon musk and all the other AI techbros ruining the world
hats off to Taiga.
i just hate how it takes a bigger vtuber’s voice, for the majority of the community to listen to people’s warnings, criticisms and concerns.
not every negative take is an attack.
and i’m appalled that so many vtubers defended this ai vibe-coded nonsense.
25 of my songs were stolen for AI data training. Absolutely vile to steal my life’s work to feed an evil machine. These companies couldn’t care less about real musicians who dedicate our lives to this
The big problem with chatbots is not that LLMs are going to become superintelligent. It’s that they will stop all human progress.
Literally every bit of work LLMs do is stolen from someone else. If no one is coding anymore, it’s ALL slop from here on out. It only gets worse because we’re busy one-shotting Mario instead of making something new.
We won’t get better AND LLMs won’t get better. It becomes not just model collapse for chatbots, but model collapse for humanity as we keep recycling and inhaling our own exhaust.
The extinction event is not Terminator. The extinction event is Idiocracy.
What happened to using this as a texture place holder in videogames instead of AI?
"We forgot to remove the AI assets" thats exact why this pattern is so visually strong
why is it so hard for ppl to understand that ai isnt only bad bc it steals from artists and attempts to replace workers but also bc it has serious ramifications on the environment
A lot of people don't seem to grasp what the real issue here is.
It's not about the use of gen-AI. It's about how it's being used.
1 - The game's art direction, environments and setting are vastly inspired by Chinese aesthetics.
2- China is the biggest market in the world for the PC version of Stellar Blade.
3 - Historically, China and South Korea don't get along very well (look it up if you care).
And yet, knowing all this, Shift Up decided to reveal the sequel to Stellar Blade with a trailer that includes AI-made "pretend-Chinese" plastered all over it.
For a Chinese reader, or even someone superficially familiar with the writing (like me), the issue is glaringly obvious when watching the trailer!
If you still don't get it, imagine a French studio making a game inspired by Italy, and then filling it up with text that says "Pasta pasta" everywhere, but using deformed letters that aren't actually letters. And that still wouldn't be as careless and bad as what has been done in Blood Rain!
It shows a tremendous lack of care, touch, professionalism, supervision and sensibility. Both from an artistic, and commercial perspective.
Hope this helps....
The only way that is ever ethical to run a model images through AI is by printing out the art on sticker paper, sticking it on a baseball bat, and running that through an AI server with great physical force.
I feel very grateful to @/peaches_fans for making all of this possible.
Meeting you all was important to me, I will treasure every pic and remember this forever. You were so kind and sweet, I appreciate you all a lot.
This gives me more strength to keep fighting for my goals 🤍
