Seeing people blast the Amazon AI dubs but then announce they’ll be streaming Where the Winds Meet
I understand you were never likely to watch or engage with these anime dubs to begin with, but please be aware these things are doing the same thing - replacing the human element within art you love.

The new game "Where the Winds Meet" uses AI chat bots for NPCs. It's really uncomfortable.

Wuxia MMO Where Winds Meet is full of AI chatbot NPCs, and people are doing all the standard obscene stuff to them: 'I made him think that my character was pregnant with his child'
Can't we just go back to the Zork school of NPC dialog?

I've been saying this since the big AI push started, if you didn't bother to spend time making it, why should I spend my time looking at it? Why is my time so much less valuable than yours? If you don't value the work that went into it, I'm not going to either. You're disrespecting me and my time.
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.

Hello! I worked on the achievement icons for @refint.games's Ys vs. Trails :)
The format is a lil' different from Studio Pom's, since I wasn't provided a contact until the tail end of the process, but I think they ended up reading pretty well on Steam. hope y'all enjoy regardless!

Falcom boss Toshihiro Kondo is probably the only CEO in the video game industry who got his job by starting a fan website for walkthroughs.
