I wanted to write a Vent post about AI Gen since it's a hot topic right now. Please excuse me since I know the topic is tiring. And I guess a little confession post too?
I want to make it clear, if I could push a button and kill gen AI, I would. I'm pro human made. Games, music, artworks, film, etc.
These are all best when you struggle to make them. It's the human element that makes these things as great as they are.
I have a confession: I have tried AI code tooling before.
Don't get me wrong: It's low quality code, it's the same thing you get when you copy stackoverflow forum posts.
You aren't learning much, and depending on what you use it for, it can actually create more problems than it solves.
And for "art" , it goes without saying it's not redeemable for me. It's trash. I'll never ever accept AI generated "art".
AI code: For some reason because most programmers are okay with it, I figured what the hell right. Let's try it.
And I've gotten into disputes with some programmer friends about this, they call it a double standard. And I guess that's true right. You see programmer types using AI "art" and you see some few artist devs using some AI code. 'whats the harm'
I mean lots of harm. It's the worst Pandora's box humanity has manufactured since the firearm. And I'm not exaggerating.
We're seeing the heat death of art. Half of the new artists you see on twitter are using some form of tracing, coloring ai, what ever the fuck.
I wanted to get that off my chest. I vow to not use AI Gen ever again. I refuse to ship games that it touches out of protest for as long as I humanly can. GearGrit does not contain any AI generated content.
