"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.

As an oldtimer in the video game industry, you use placeholders when you start out. Free stuff. Boxes and spheres. Old assets from other games. Then when things come around, you get the artists on board.
Sounds quite useless to me to spend time on. At meast if you make a real game.
Placeholders is even faster and lesser effort 🤷🏼♀️
Also, if your game isn't fun without good looking graphics, then that's a serious problem (IMO), and using placeholder assures that to some extent.
