I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of pro-AI posts on this platform.
Various posts with titles similar to “When will people stop being afraid of AI” or “Can we please acknowledge AI was very needed for X”
Can’t tell if its the propaganda machine invading, or annoying teenage tech-bros who are detached from reality.
Despite me generally agreeing with OP’s point, I’ll give you that.
One of my biggest pet peeves with AI recently is how I’ve noticed indie game devs on itch.io become addicted to it. Everytime I think I’ve found a cool new game with a unique premise or game mechanic… the summary is AI slop. And if I give them the benefit of the doubt of just being too lazy to write their own summary… surprise, surprise. Every line of dialogue or plot in the game is cringe-worthy AI text and I uninstall it after about ~5 minutes in lol
So pretty much any dev I catch with an AI summary now is an insta-block on ublock filters and the rest of their catalogue won’t see the light of day.
It’s so goddamn frustrating that the only genre I can pretty much browse by anymore is No AI. It’s slowly getting to the point where I don’t even bother engaging with anything released within the last 3 years, so I won’t even bother checking out new stuff on the front page anymore. This is how you slowly kill a creative community.
