Rules:
As a gamer and in most things, I want AI. It is the results that matter to me, not the method. Be it sewn by hand or the loom, the final product has to be good enough to justify my time and money.
The problems come from who and why, which boils down to the feckless elite wanting to exploit and boss around people. As we have seen countless times in the past, corporations never needed AI to be cruel to people.
Who could have possibly guessed that artists like doing art!
Great. Cause if they aren't paying people to make the game, I'm not paying to play the damn game.
Even if the game is free, I adhere by the rule of "time is money."
AI is the worst kind of bullshit fantasy because it convinces people to dehumanize themselves and others with a condescending sense of inevitability for a future that the technology does not provide any hard evidence for being inevitable.
Human artists are supremely valuable, fuck this "rational" economic system that pretends otherwise.
… but isn’t ai inevitable?
I love Man Carrying Thing and this might be one of his most important performances yet!
It is rare for an actor's work to completely capture my attention from beginning to end in a performance without my tastes becoming bored or the emotional heart strings the actors crudely pluck in me becoming tired and drawn out, but Man Carrying Thing had me paying attention for virtually his entire performance on this one!
I really hope they're being sincere about these statements.
They kind of already went through the ringer with people accusing the pals of being AI generated pokemon (which was disproven by their lead artist).
That's a good business model. "If our customers don't like it, our employees don't like it, and we can do business without it, why should we use it?"
Careful, when the AIs get so good that you can ask them anything and they perfectly understand what you want and produce great results, you're going to get left behind because... you won't know how to use the... incredibly easy tools... hang on...
Listen, as a 6-year prompt engineer I know exactly how to manipulate the AI to give me... well you know not great results... yet but it will be one day and then I'll know how to say the archaic words cuz I will have already practiced, see it makes sense!
So with the proper incantation your ~~spell~~ prompt will finally work? Remember to grow a beard and ponder the orb first.
Beacuse minimize the effing costs or you fired
I'm not sure AI is cheaper now that AI companies are no longer artificially suppressing prices. Especially compared to the PR companies you need to pay if you use AI.
I remember there was a rumor going around Twitter when Palworld first launched that Pocketpair had used AI for some of their character designs, and there was some backlash, but it turned out to be false. Feeling some of that heat, even if it was unwarranted, probably also helped set their opinions on using AI for that kind of stuff.
If gamers don't want it and your own staff doesn't want to use it, no point in wasting money trying to force it.
Now try and convince the entire tech industry of that last sentence.
I ran into a research article a couple weeks back pointing out that devs that use AI were 25% less productive, despite all "consultants" claiming they should be 25% more productive.
Hopefully the tech industry starts waking up once they start having to maintain the giant mess they've made
I think the studio is taking the right lesson, but it doesn't necessarily apply to the tech industry.
Software is good when it is average (standard, unsurprising), while entertainment is good when it is out of distribution. By definition, you can't statistically sample good art and get good art at the output.
I am, and I’m doing exactly what it takes to convince the entire tech industry. I’m not buying their shit. They’ll either capitulate or there will be an alternative tech industry.
I remember there was a rumor going around Twitter when Palworld first launched that Pocketpair had used AI for some of their character designs, and there was some backlash, but it turned out to be false.
When was that officially confirmed? I've been waiting for an answer to this question for years. I had heard they had denied using AI for character designs, but I wasn't sure if that was true or not.
Well I guess the article this post is about could tell you the answer.
But then you'd actually have to read it.
I bought Palworld just to spite Nintendo and thus far i haven't regretted buying it.
Good.
This exclusionary, contemporary AI definition really grinds my gears.
What do we call the thing that governs NPC behavior now?

State Machines?
fuzzy logic
See, I don't mind AI if it's used for stuff like NPC interactions and what not, but not for the creation of assets or mechanics.
At least in it's current iteration, AI can stand out like a sore thumb and once you see it, something is taken away from the experience.
I don't think I've played a game where I've seen AI but this definitely applies to other faucets.
Which other faucets?
Bathroom sink, outdoor, utility…
Stop, I can only get so wet.
Almost certainly you’ve played a game where some of the code was AI generated. That’s pretty much impossible to notice.
I'm buying palworld one day.
It leaves early access soon. Maybe consider marking the calendar?
July 10th to be exact
No idea why you got downvoted
I'm wondering if it's some people upset from another thread just being petty.
Edit: upon looking at my comment history, almost all of them have a new downvote that wasn't there before. I definitely upset someone, apparently, enough for them to go through my entire comment history and downvote each one I've ever made.
