Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Manor Lords and Terra Invicta publishers Hooded Horse are imposing a strict ban on generative AI assets in their games, with company co-founder Tim Bender describing it as an “ethics issue” and “a very frustrating thing to have to worry about”.

“I fucking hate gen AI art and it has made my life more difficult in many ways… suddenly it infests shit in a way it shouldn’t,” Bender told Kotaku in a recent interview. “It is now written into our contracts if we’re publishing the game, ‘no fucking AI assets.'” I assume that's not a verbatim quote, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

The publishers also take a dim view of using generative AI for “placeholder” work, or indeed any ‘non-final’ aspect of game development. “We’ve gotten to the point where we also talk to developers and we recommend they don’t use any gen AI anywhere in the process because some of them might otherwise think, ‘Okay, well, maybe what I’ll do is for this place, I’ll put it as a placeholder,’ right?” Bender went on.

They also have a publisher sale this month on steam and have some really good games, highly suggest checking them out.

Apparently, an unbearable pain and sorrow starts taking over my head, heart, or even mind with soul... whenever I even think about a moment I realize that something I focused on, in order to imagine and try realizing what idea the artist wanted to express, actually, had no human involved in it but void...

This void is not the reason I dignify discovered, nor I will ever want to... this is not the reason I live... Art is between human to pass ideas and love through the universe, I trust...

Thank you... dear Artists... from the very depths of my hear and soul... for you creating miracles... for believing in the infinitely ineffably magnificent... in purpose... in human... in art...

The waves are coming clean...
Crash your breach and roll the tide that dreams...
The tide that dreams tomorrow...
Carry on and cover me...
The storm will come and it brings relief...
