"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.

I just found out that Embark used genAI to replace recalling it's voice actors. And I am devastated. It was my GOTY and now I'm boycotting it. To the point that I decided to be vocal about it.

I don't want any AI (not talking about machine learning for the way the Arcs move, I'm talking about the voice actors being replaced) in the work of art that I think are the video games I play.

To game developers: Stop using AI in your video games!


Je viens de découvrir que Embark a utilisé de l'IA générative pour remplacer ses acteurs. Et franchement je suis tellement déçu. C'était clairement mon GOTY, et maintenant je me retrouve à boycotter tout ça, au point de carrément en faire des posts pour toucher le plus de monde possible.

Je ne veux aucune IA (et attention, je ne parle pas du machine learning utilisé pour les déplacements des Arcs) dans les oeuvres d'art que je consomme.

Aux développeurs: Arrêtez d'utiliser de l'IA dans les jeux vidéos !

When I was interested in maybe buying the game, I think the day of it's release, I saw a disclaimer on the steam store page say it used AI. That's the reason I chose not to buy it. If I am going to buy art, I want it to be the authentic product of real humans, not a facsimile of life animated by the ritual sacrifice of burning limited resources.

Stop buying their shit. Decide on some values and boundaries for yourself, and keep them. I do not buy any games with microtransactions or where the output of LLMs feature in the end product.

Yeah you miss out on some AAA releases, but those games are rarely actually all that fun to play anyways.
