Can we put our collective pitchforks away for this case at least?
NO.
My pitchfork stays sharpened and at the ready until this stupid bubble pops.
Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage

Sandfall Interactive further clarifies that there are no generative AI-created assets in the game. When the first AI tools became available in 2022, some members of the team briefly experimented with them to generate temporary placeholder textures. Upon release, instances of a placeholder texture were removed within 5 days to be replaced with the correct textures that had always been intended for release, but were missed during the Quality Assurance process

Not exactly a massive AI slop problem, right?

The AI was used for background assets that they failed to remove but patched quickly after. It’s not as egregious as the headline makes it out to be.
Agrivar@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I think you misunderstood me. All AI is humanity-ending garbage that needs to be eliminated. I don’t give two figs how or where it’s used - I want it all gone.

Do you even have a tech background? How is a machine learning algorithm going to end humanity?
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
AI that finds protein foldings or cures for cancer is humanity-ending? Careful with that stretching, you could hurt yourself.

From your votes and lack of response I can indeed surmise that you’re a hypocrite schmuck who’s never had a remote semblance of an opinion about AI until it’s become fashionable to hate it, whereupon you promptly jumped on the bandwagon and started shouting about how all AI ruins the planet, regardless of the nuances that are too much for you to think of. It’s remarkable how loud idiots like you can hijack the conversation. Just cry wolf as much as you can, that’s enough for the entirety of the cognitive capacity of yourself and people like you. You’re an embarrassment for both your nation and humanity as a whole.

It’s not a bubble though. That’s like waiting for the internet bubble to pop back in the 90s. AI will be around from now on, just not as such an in your face way. It will eventually become ubiquitous, just like many other pieces of tech.

This massive new economic sector that is eclipsing the GDP of most nations combined in under 10 years, which is almost entirely subsidized by a combination of venture capital, which is being forced in to any product that involves electricity regardless of suitability, this industry and that loses money every time a user interacts with it (even the paying customers) is not a bubble?
Please, enlighten us on what you think an economic bubble is. A lot of us were around for the dotcom bubble; to say it was not one, when we were standing there watching the market rise into the stratosphere and come crashing down, is a bit much.

Lol you think people on lemmy are going to put away their AI pitchforks?
Wigglesworth@retrolemmy.com 3 weeks ago
I don’t like billion dollar corporations, and I’d be fine to stop and leave that be all the context, but I also don’t like them using technology to manufacture truth while polluting the earth to do it.
So tell your coders to give you a tune up, the damage control algorithm didn’t pan out.

Why are you responding to me? Your message doesn’t seem to have anything to do with my statement that lemmy is a hive mind circle jerk over AI (and steam, etc.)
lepinkainen@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Not in general but for this at least? Maybe?
uncouple9831@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Nah there’s already a slap fight down in the comments between the hard liners and the “can’t we just give it a rest” folks.
mzesumzira@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Or maybe people are just fed up with AI being shoehorned into anything and their mum and overcorrect a bit?
Wigglesworth@retrolemmy.com 3 weeks ago
No more than the ones pushing their pro-ai agenda.

When they understand the context behind this particular case, yes.

Has not been my experience. Rip your comment votes

Yeah I figured this app had more tech savvy and educated people. Evidently, it’s littered with people that barely got through high school.

This is the same use case that people are currently up in arms against Larian for
PonyOfWar@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Not quite. Larian also wants to use it for concept art, which is not the same thing as placeholder assets. To give you a bit of context, the standard for placeholder textures at the software development companies I worked so far has mostly been “vaguely fitting images you found on Google”.
MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Atleast in my experience bigger companies have either their own libraries, libraries of bought assets or dedicated sites with free to use stuff, so they can use the placeholdes without a risk of having copyrighted stuff in the files.
Concept art is little tricky because it often is 10 version of the same character or random piece of the scenery and it takes hundreds of pieces and revision before art director finally decites “this is it, this is what our game looks like”. Personally i dont care if those are drawn on a paper or made in photoshop, paint, by a ai tool or trowing wet cats on a canvas. In the end i care that human decites what they are going to use and artist finishes the model. I dont see the point having artist spend their time creating seven different looking bandoliers for the protagonist, when nobody even knows if any version of those end in the game.
And i just want to say way before the consept art when the product is in its early planning state there are often “feeling boards” that are just i want our game to feel like picture of breath of the wild and picture of skyrim or picture of cuphead and picture of warm and cozy fireplace and these feeling boards may stay in use until the very end of the production.

Good. Burn both companies to the ground. Set them as an example.
