"It's about saving the planet" - KeenFlame.

It isn't about saving the planet. They never said it was about saving the planet, they don't think GenAI is destroying the planet (see excerpt) The saving the planet thing came all from you.

It's about marketing, and it's working, here you are saying ecco the dolphin is saving the planet. Unless you were telling me the plot of ecco, and yeah I suppose, but that's a bit out of context. Haven't bought into the hype? What more hype is there than saving the planet.

What's the most over hyped game you know? Where were people saying it was saving the planet? Great graphics, incredible gameplay, get to watch an acorn grow into a tree in real time... But saving the planet?!

I think you just don't get the joke..?

[–] Fedegenerate@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Probably not. Mind explaining it?

The game (I only knew about the Super Nintendo one) is, but AI is bad for the environment. But it only works if someone kneejerks about the AI part and then you say something like "I meant, the game..". .. idk ok I was going to wing it. You'll have to forgive me, I'm a dad..

You'll have to forgive me too. I fell into a bit of a poe's law.

I'm not "AI bad" and "AI bad" has been acting real crazy lately, so it didn't seem out of character for an "AI bad" person to say ecco the dolphin, by virtue of having no AI, is saving the planet. The game still took power and resources to develop. Not only isn't it saving the planet, regardless of AI, it's harming it.

I am however "Corporation bad", so I was doubly overly sensitive. 1st someone was saying some perceived AI bad silliness. 2nd they were also saying that the corporation harming the planet, was saving the planet. You got your knee jerk though.

Unless you were telling me the plot of ecco, and yeah I suppose, but that’s a bit out of context.

Sorry to preempt your punch line. Joke wasn't missed, just unappreciated. My bad. I don't wanna rehash a GenAI debate though, see here for my latest one.
