Seems TE is at a crossroads where they might need to decide whether to continue blanket criticism of AI-produced games (especially ports and recomps) or move to a case-by-case basis.
I don’t want to play a game with AI art or music any more than the next guy, but if a (human-made) game I love becomes playable again or in a different format because of AI assisted work, I’m willing to take that as a bonus that probably wouldn’t have existed otherwise in my lifetime.
I understand people who don’t feel that way, but the reporting of such things on this site is starting to feel at odds with itself.
@ghostofkutaragi there’s a difference between companies that have some support from or reliance on these systems (which is not all in a meaningful sense) and a company that’s straight up 96% owned by one of those governments.
Kinda like how some internet discourse is tangentially about balls, but your comment was 96% about balls. In a world where so many people have them, I worry about people who are so preoccupied with their own. But we all have our insecurities.
