It's insufferable how companies have been integrating AI into their phone camera apps.

The game industry is so fucking back

The texture artist whose name scrolls by 20 minutes into the credits hidden away in the settings menu did not choose to work on Fallout 76 or Elder Scrolls Online or Halo Infinite or whatever, but the people who decided those would be profitable are glad you're blaming them

[Eric Bourdages @EZE3D]

The steam AI label works both ways, if gen AI was truly quality defining & beloved by gamers then the AI label would help sales. The fact people are vocally against gen AI content in games is the exact reason the label should exist. It's never a bad thing to inform customers.

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

"It's a different story for the more established studios with an existing following and previous titles. Game Oracle found that the use of AI by these studios resulted in a significant 40% to 60% drop in sales."

Brutal. You slop, you flop.

[Glenn @glytchbot]

So is that why Tim was upset at Steam labelling AI generated games?

[Troy McCron @RobotNinjaToast]

Discussing grind culture and the games industry on X. And unsurprisingly, 280 characters wasn’t enough, so I accidentally wrote an essay instead
It’s about why I think we’ve started confusing self-sacrifice with professionalism. I hope people still read😅

[Eve 🇵🇸 @femsocialist]

AI for the poor, actual human teachers for the rich. This is a class issue and we need to recognise it as such, in order to fight this effectively in schools.
The rich wouldn’t accept this for their own kids!

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

Called it. Game studios need a new line, this one is all used up.

The DLSS 5 backlash is not going away, says Rob Fahey. "This isn't knee-jerk outrage; Nvidia has sacrificed its gaming credentials to its strategic embrace of AI, and both consumers and developers hate the results" https://t.co/ZmxY34TkxD

[Xan Humphrey @CloutStrife1st]

Son the Devs didn't even know about DLSS5. What the FUCK LMFAO

[august ⚢ @nafragous]

yes. if you can’t respect other people’s art, why should i respect yours?

[Rahul Majumdar @darthrahul]

Everyone defending DLSS 5 by saying "devs" are onboard sure seem to conveniently forget the ones who are endorsing this are upper management execs and not the actual character designers and asset creators. It's all executives from Capcom, Bethesda, etc, not actual artists.

Unfortunately for you, Epic Games Lead Producer, we actually give a shit about the medium we enjoy. You meanwhile have eyes for net gain and profit, and thus can't apply those eyes to see this for the absolute dogshit that it is. We however, pay attention, and care.

[ZooL @ZooL_Smith]

"Oh we didn't mention DLSS 5 only runs on 2 RTX 5090? Oh no, nobody can afford it?? But anyway, here's our service called Geforce Now which allows you to stream your games remotely from our massive datacenters for a small subscription fee"

Don't tell me it isn't fucking obvious.

[DX @DXFromYT]

I've come to the conclusion that the people who unironically like and advocate for this stuff are simply mentally ill. There has to be some genuine detachment from humanity.

[Michael @TheMG3D]

@NVIDIAGeForce I will keep DLSS 5 off

[Samuel Deats 🌕 @SamuelDeats]

.@CapcomUSA_ I'm begging you to cancel support for DLSS 5. That is not Grace, this looks like a horrible AI porn filter. It's downright disrespectful to your team of talented artists and your fans alike.

Today is a day that will go down in the history books! Satan has teamed up with Hitler to bring you more misery nobody asked for! :D
