i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

You ever think about how beautiful and rare your friends are and stare into space for 10 minutes because in all the wretched terrifying universe somehow something still managed to give you the miracle of their presence?

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

I don’t think so. It’s called Legend of Zelda and Zelda was on the cover with a sword but Zelda was a boy for some reason so it’s cool she’s a girl now since Zelda is a girl name
Little news flashback for ya my friend.....Zelda was always a girl. Even from the first Video Game. Link was always the one saving Zelda the Princess.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.
