    There's a lot of anti-AI warriors on Reddit in the game development space. I dislike lazy AI slop use in games as much as anyone else, but I also dislike the lack of nuance in these positions. They think it's gotta be all or nothing. It will become increasingly unrealistic to expect game developers to not use AI in some part of their process, especially code development, but such use does not automatically make it slop.

      I wonder if it’s a more western thing. Like the remake of Yo-kai Watch 2 was revealed a couple of weeks ago in the latest Nintendo Direct and the trailer is obviously gen AI yet… no one seems to care about that. Especially not on the japanese and asian social media <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;76L1JKQWB8w" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;76L1JKQWB8w

      otoh I would put the Runescape community and people who play Yo-kai Watch games as far away as possible from each other

        When I see something I consider sterile, infantile and shallow, the information that 1% or 99% of the people on the planet like it changes nothing about my assessment of it. Looking to see if this quote had been posted before, I found it in a comment that I generally agree with, that also happens to be on the subject of Gen-AI:

        <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=33869178">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=33869178

        the more things change, and all that...
