i dont have very high hopes about consumers rejecting big money projects that utilize AI. It's easy for a lot of folks to say no when its something small theyve never heard of or when it looks cheap and jank but when some big game theyve been looking forward to uses it and doesnt look bad? yeah :/ - ThreadSky

inevitably there will be big name media that uses it without disclosure, and looks fine enough that consumers won't care about the difference.

dieselbrain.bsky.social•5 days ago

and to be extremely frank: a lot of people couldnt even say no to buying fucking Elder Scrolls when Microsoft were on the BDS boycott list for their involvement in genocide.

i do not have much faith in consumer audiences

dieselbrain.bsky.social•5 days ago

fun fact: everyone's favorite darling 'Claire Obscure' was caught using AI as placeholder art and nobody fucking cared.

flannaganthered.bsky.social•5 days ago

"placeholder"

dieselbrain.bsky.social•5 days ago

""""placeholder""""

yeah for fucking real

dieselbrain.bsky.social•5 days ago

"Clair Obscur" whatever its fucking name is

dieselbrain.bsky.social•5 days ago

this is where people are gonna really need to ask themselves, are they truly against AI for its anti-labor applications or do you just think theyre cringe when something you already werent interested in is jank?

is your tune gonna change when it's in something you want? something you like?

i hate this cursed shitty technology making even the things i go to for stress release have a shadow hanging over them that says "but what if this was made with the anti ethics plagiarism machine??"

It fucking BLOWS

this happened to my buddy Touhou

umbire.bsky.social•5 days ago

has anyone reached out to ZUN about that? I'm still holding out hope it was an oversight but like...

j4derabb1t.bsky.social•5 days ago

I noticed this shit back when NFT's were huge. A bunch of major IP's were using em and I told people, you pressure em to cut that shit out and you don't support or play their games and whatnot if they don't. Most backed off, but still, people were hedging their bets back then. Much worse now.

The matrix movie iirc was a big one lol suddenly ppl that were critiquing big companies for pushing nfts went hush hush

pachydad.bsky.social•5 days ago

God damnit, was about to get that one to. Well removing it from my wishlist.

bleeppbleepp.bsky.social•5 days ago

D: o no.
Dang, and i just had this game come on my radar today.

bleeppbleepp.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ooooohhhhhh, i just found what you are taking about.
Ick.

And it totally seems like they meant to leave it in there. Because the replacement image is kiterally just newspaper prints, and not stylish at all. Seems like a rush job to cover up the ai asset.

A shame

Fucking hell...

Ah, that's nasty.
One less game I gotta buy, I guess.

yeah :/

kerunfunf.bsky.social•5 days ago

That shit bums me out so much. "Oh it's so easy and cheap, we could never make X or Y without it!" No one had any problems when this shit didn't exist 5 years ago. You can simply continue to not use it now.

orannis0.bsky.social•5 days ago

Source on this? I hadn't heard anything about it using AI until this.

dieselbrain.bsky.social•5 days ago

there was a bunch of background posters in-game that people noticed had a distinctly AI look (weird/warbled text, weird mushy designs etc. you know the look) and when people brought it up, the devs claimed it was "placeholder" art and replaced it with pngs of newspapers

dieselbrain.bsky.social•5 days ago

nothing raised to the point of an expose or anything but it was very clearly evidence of AI being used in their development process

whitewhiskey.bsky.social•4 days ago

Do you have a link or anything on that? Because I'm having issue finding anything on it myself. I can find images of one texture a couple people are claiming is AIGen but the writing on it can also look screwey for story spoiler reason.

The next Harry Potter movie could be fully AI generated and millions would still watch it and defend it from trans people begging them not to fund our genocide

cyancnidaria.bsky.social•5 days ago

yeah :\

phazon-slut.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well, I can only worry about what I'm doing but, I didn't watch Secret Wars or whatever it was called with the AI credits, and when I heard that one movie had AI in it, I changed my mind on buying a ticket. If I'm doing it, someone else is doing it and just not talking about it

jamespatton.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah, I think this is why boycotts don't work. They're very disorganized and easy to opt out of.

rufia.bsky.social•4 days ago

honestly have very little faith these days in the ability of modern consumers to simply not buy a product for literally any reason outside of disinterest

it could turn out that 100% of the proceeds of the next Sonic game go to the Hitler Reanimation Project and a lot of folks would still eat it up

unpeeledhuman.bsky.social•5 days ago

cant wait to see the thousands of ff14 fans with zero self respect playing the new expansion day one LMFAO
