@SynthPotato Imo much bigger issues were that the main story was considerably less good than the side character stories as well as it being a kinda lame chosen one story variant, and the side content (puzzles etc.) were around 5-7 varieties repeated over dozens of instances.
@SophiaNarwitz He's someone that should keep all of his opinions to himself to begin with, I don't recall ever seeing something of value there. He's either desperate for attention or super jealous he doesn't have the biggest market share on pc. Probably both.
@TorNis7 Don't know whether I'm looking at the right images but I don't see the problem. Plus in regards to DQXII's I can only say I find it an interesting change considering he looks more like a bad guy with those sharp shaped eyes rather than the typical round ones. But not bad either.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
