I do my best // just a nostalgic and creative nerd // if you support GenAI, kindly gtfo

I'll keep this short and sweet:
Given today's unveiling of Epic's use of GenAI tools, I've made the decision to permanently cancel all of my UEFN maps and depart entirely from the Fortnite content creation scene.

Thanks for ruining everything Epic.

@JFOX8705961 @Whatsherface420 with the current state of Discover and Fortnite's ecosystem as a whole, no the mcFuck I couldn't lol

[kitsu @kitsucore]

I'm thankful to those being respectful in the replies, but geez i really hit a nerve for some people lmao
it's just a niche creator departing from Fortnite content, it's not that deep bro

@JFOX8705961 true, but I like to think my work's at least a little bit higher effort than 90% of UEFN maps lol

[kitsu @kitsucore]

mfw I spend thousands of hours on multiple high-quality UEFN projects only for epic to ruin their entire game in a matter of months

[kitsu @kitsucore]

@ApolloFNC I'm very much considering that lmao.

@DaRealNateBM I know my little protest will do next to nothing, but I personally don't feel comfortable developing for a platform that actively uses GenAI (and seems to encourage the use of it, given the state of Discover).

[kitsu @kitsucore]

@stellarstye You're right that a big part of the internet is connected to GenAI in one way or another, as sucky as that is, but it doesn't hurt to try to distance myself from as much of it as I can.

[kitsu @kitsucore]

@Ashleyxxo_ I don't believe all AI is bad; AI has its uses in the scientific and medical fields, and I applaud the people developing those kinds of AIs, but GenAI specifically in my opinion is not ethical or good in any way.

[kitsu @kitsucore]

@riftibleman I understand that very little people actually care about my content, but if there's even a single person who cares, it wouldn't be right to leave them in the dark.

[kitsu @kitsucore]

@Ashleyxxo_ How is not wanting to support an unethical business practice "being insufferable"?

[kitsu @kitsucore]

@mrfnweaponideas As long as the concept isn't used for any monetized content or UEFN maps, I don't mind.

[kitsu @kitsucore]

@Spoc_0 @juste_thibaudV2 I don't doubt that servers used by services like YouTube have an impact on the environment, but comparing the sheer amount of energy and cooling needed between media/game servers and AI servers is like comparing a batch of TNT to an atomic bomb.

[kitsu @kitsucore]

@nobodyiamw ...so I guess you care, given your handle is literally "nobody"?

[kitsu @kitsucore]

@juste_thibaudV2 I refuse to support or associate with a game or company using a tool as unethical and harmful to the environment as GenAI; and this isn't a "minimal" case: AI is being used to completely change artist concepts and generate entire sections of a final concept.

I had some garlic bread earlier, it was pretty good
