"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.

Japan has a bigger problem with AI use than you'd think. Like the stuff from this guy. Or this guy. Or this guy.
Then there are the Easterners who made entire games with AI. Like the Chinese "devs" who had an AI create this game. Or this game. Or this game.
Kinda telling how most ai slop games are visual novels, the least likely genre to fuck up basic functionality
There isnt much to fuck up in a visual novel really. Although it does make things like renpy look so much worse than they are, i've seen very complex games made with renpy, visual novels still, but like you could walk around places and interact with characters, the characters had schedules even.
I'm not surprised at all, Manga-style characters must be so goddamn easy to make with genAI considering the quantity of training data and how similar it all is.
