  It‘s easy to dismiss this as a reaction from an older dev who‘s simply out of touch. However, from what I‘ve been picking up people in Japan are very split on AI. For every artist, developer or writer that hates it there‘s another artist, developer or writer who says it‘s a tool like any other. But it does feel like it‘s mostly older guys who are already retired or close to it that don‘t have a problem with it sometimes.

    To be honest, I’m my experience those of us that are staunchly anti gen AI are a vocal minority.

      I’ve gotten the opposite impression, especially with all those recent AI advocates getting booed and laughed at by students during university commencement speeches. It feels like the usual ‘powerful elites with huge platforms’ - including legacy and independent media - versus almost everyone else.

      Not at all. We had a company wide town hall at my office recently and there was a huge debate about AI in the chat during a talk from one of the execs about AI strategy. Most people in the debate were staunchly anti-AI, with only a few developers in favour.

  I am so torn on a FF6 3D remake. On the one hand I think it has huge potential - and is way more interesting than an FF9 remake (does anyone seriously think that game actually needs to be remade? It’s fine as it is!). But on the other I think FF6 is so spectacular in its current iteration that I also don’t want to fuck with it. The desire to remake FF7 was obvious - early 3D games have aged horribly and look like ass with modern eyes. But much like Chrono Trigger FF6 is in that peak era of pixel art and as so many indie games keep demonstrating year after year: pixel art is timeless.

    I tried to play ff9 and it was rough. It’s good as a story vehicle but I’m spoiled on modern game mechanics. Additionally I wouldn’t mind an uprez.

    That said, ff6 would benefit from it far far more.

      Admittedly it’s been a minute and I might have rose-coloured glasses on FF9. It is a PS1 title and those have historically… not aged all too gracefully, let’s say.

    There is no chance they do ff4 or ff6 justice on a remake. Ff6 is so large that it’d probably be split up into 10 episodes as well.

  Regardless of how much you dislike AI, it’s indisputable the hate has gone too far. People are regularly receiving death threats just for using generative AI.

    Nah, farther. These people gotta learn not to use it by the rest of us shaming them.

      It’s the same reason I regularly hand out death threats to people eating meat, driving cars, and creasing the corners of books as a bookmark. It’s imperative that they know I’m judging them, and I’m really important, so they need to be threatened with death on the regular for not agreeing with me.

      In what way? The guy hasn’t been involved in a Final Fantasy game for 25+ years. He isn’t even part of Square Enix for Globs sake. The only thing tying him to the franchise is that he started it and directed it in the early days. Whatever his opinions on AI is it’s not going into Final Fantasy. And based on Mythwalker studios game output I don’t think it’s going there either. The man is basically retired and looking back at fanart.

      Shame is unfortunately a very bad way to encourage someone to desist from behavior. We can especially see this in addiction management. If someone is ashamed of something they are dependent on, the shame causes them to think about it more, makes them more likely to become entrenched and defensive about the subject, and causes them to use it in private.

      The more effective route is in education and harm reduction. Teaching people what AI is capable of and what it is not capable of won’t immediately make someone stop using AI, but it has a much better chance of leading to desistance in the long run.

      I think there’s an exception to be made here for shaming very public evangelists, but that’s less to discourage them from using it so much as it is about discouraging others from taking them seriously.

    Death threats are never acceptable, but public shaming is an extremely important pillar defining the morals of society, and we are not wrong to use it whenever necessary.

    I dispute that the hate has gone too far. I think it could go farther.
