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.

The news blogs have not been kind to Palworld in general. The Verge posts headlines like "Pokemon rip-off Palworld removes features due to lawsuit they deserve to lose"
I know literally nothing about Palworld but from what I've seen of it, it does look like a rip of the Pokemon Legends games but with violence. Is that not so? Asking out of legitimate curiosity
It's closer to monster hunter, breath of the wild, and Ark than Pokemon. The only passing resemblance to pokemon is the fact the 'pals' are on the cartoony side (and a couple are just digimon rejects).
It's the media that dubed it pokemon with guns and slavery after the first trailer dropped way, way back when, and even then that was exclusively due to the cartoony design before any game play elements had been revealed.
Oh hey, it's a nintendfan that doesn't realize weird game theory blogs making wild claims by literally changing both colour and shape of pals kinda doesn't hold up, even in Japanese Copyright court which is by far the strictest and least fair in the world.
oh hey look a internet dick. who makes false claims and gets his comments moderated and removed a ton.
No, it was determined in court that the similarities of the designs was due to being inspired by the same prior art that Pokemon was inspired by.
it was not. you look at anubus pal and then look at lucario and tell me that's not a AI generated rip of off lucario, or Robinquill and Decidueye. Foxparks and Vulpix. Jet ragon and Latios/Latias. Orserk and Garchomp. too many pals are way to similar to be "original" designs. the fucking creators of palworld are huge supporters of AI, so of course they would use AI to generate pals and it jsut took pokemon designs.
but no no "nInTeNdo Is BaD" mindeset infested the stooges that love 'pokemon with gunz', i mean palword.
This is especially silly since they share zero design themes in common. Did you get this list from some random 6 year old reddit post?
So you (and Nintendo apparently) have no proof of plagiarism and switched to speculations. Noted.
