This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.
And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?
Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

Schumer and Jeffries: Trump says he wants to use Black people as target practice, we say why not target getting our bipartisan budget back in the black
idk guys, "we're going to train our military on our cities" seems like the kind of thing that's 1) very bad and 2) very easy to message against but what the fuck do i know
Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

An interesting thing about Silksong is the way that it combines elements of the classic Metroid and Castlevania games. Could this be the start of a new genre?

I just wanna grab this part of my ramble about AI from all of this; I think it's insufficiently understood the extent to which AI models as they are currently being commercially deployed are an effort to commercialize a specific novel technological discovery - the transformer - for funding
It’s probably worth noting btw in the line of your position that a lot of what’s going on on social media around this is people looking for a way to blame individuals for marketing campaigns by large companies
AI art was a small hobbyist curiosity until companies started flooding the zone w/models

it's so fucking weird as someone who grew up in the 00s seeing the internet now because it's like they put up miles of safety rails in the middle of everything for 25 years and then dumped all the children directly into radioactive waste
remember like five days ago when it was revealed that facebook has specifically set parameters for its ai to have sensual encounters with children and then no politicians or major media outlets wanted a followup

This is in the replies and it demonstrates a real issue which is if you find profundity from an AI, you’re responding to something profound a human being wrote that was vacuumed up and what ends up happening is you thank AI and not only don’t thank the person, you have no idea they were involved
