AI witch hunting is going to get old, fast.

No one will be able to notice in 2 years at most. Today, if you know what you're doing, you can already make something visually perfect. Just a matter of time.

It's kind of fun to live something that will be so shortlived tho. Kind of special.

Ok? And?

Using ai tools to manage their margins for a store front that sells drm free games.

What kind of drugs are you Salem witch hunters using?

let's raise their prices by 50% so they can spring for additional staff!

Since I had to go looking for it, I saved the image in question so you don't have to hunt it down like I did

In a world when one font is not enough for four digits, here comes AI-generated slop, trained on equally terrible human slop. Because design thinking is hard.

You really think you cannot find thousands and thousands of images with the same theme for 0.50€ lifetime royalty free price?

 

[MacReady13]

Who. Gives. A. FUCK? Is AI this big bad bogey man now? And anytime someone mentions AI the whole fucking world goes into a state of frenzy???

Oh no, all those potential billions and riches that an artist could of made by doing literally what the AI would have done anyway. Grab a bunch of assets online and slap em together with illustrator.

Yeah this is a non story.

Forgive me father, for I have sinned.

I have used AI to write this confession.

GOG now using AI generated images on their store

AI continues to be everywhere, and now it's appearing on the GOG store too most recently a big banner for their New Year Sale.

Is that any bad ?

 

[MidGenRefresh]

LLM slop is exactly the kind of thing that fits a platform that claims to cherish video games as art.

Right?

 

[Sakura]

How much money would it really cost to just pay some guy to draw some banners or whatever for them? The amount they'd save doesn't seem worth it for the backlash, even if the majority were ok with it.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

You really think those are not ai generated?

 

[Soodanim]

Nah, their high and mighty attitude is gone. They are not doing anything for the good of the hobby, but to make money. Fuck GOG

I don't fucking care. Fuck AI, and fuck them for using it, no matter the cope

Now now, settle down.

GOG, like most businesses, isn't a non-profit organisation nor does it have unlimited money. If this is your first time realising that, I'm sorry you had to find out like this.

[dgrdsv]

And that's completely fine.

 

[MrJangles]

Honestly, who gives a fuck

 

[Esppiral]

RIP artists.

 

[pepeno]

I always find it fascinating that people suddenly started to care about normal human slop they never cared before. Almost as if same people were previously buying their stuff and before using that stuff they were stopping themselves and admired amazing human art that is on chocholate bar with a dog and Christmas theme.

I am particularly thankful to AI that it replaced those artists time to do actually something that they can be proud of rather than human slop they were doing.

 

[BlackTron]

I still wouldn't trust a store or product that uses AI as a form of advertisement. If they are cheeping out on artists, what else are they cheaping out? Can I trust the quality of their product if they don't care about the quality of their art?

I mean, it's old games. You don't even need to count on the DRM or anticheat, because there aren't any. If I was a game studio, I wouldn't use it on my web site because it would reflect attitudes and standards that might matter because I MAKE games.

If all you do is sell games, I'm struggling to figure out how to care about this beyond pearl clutching. GOG hardly makes any money, in fact most of my games there were free codes, I don't care if the server that supplies all my old, free games has some cost cutting graphics on it.

Man, I swear all these AI images don't make fucking sense. Who the fuck sits behind a TV? What abomination of a console is that grey mutated SNES lookalike under the TV?

 

[Team Andromeda]

AI witch hunting is going to get old, fast.

Yeah, I love it too when you see some people using AI for their Twitter, YouTube avatars only to then call out AI.

 

[Spyxos]

 

[poodaddy]

This is such a non issue it's embarrassing that it's even a topic for discussion.

Use AI as much as ya want GoG, you'll still be my favorite PC platform.

You often don't care about the quality of your threads here, consistently creating low quality threads with typos and weird titles, should we stop trusting you?

 

[mdkirby]

God it's all so tiresome. It's a freaking banner, for a sale, for a company that's not doing great financially with not great margins. What's the likely "profit" (not revenue) from this sale? Should they really be spending £500 on a little banner for it when that money could be far better spent elsewhere?

Edit, due critique is that it's pretty shitty ai work, someone needs to use better tools or get better at promoting

 

[Wolzard]

What nonsense. I would use more AI-generated images just to annoy these people.

 

[Draugoth]

You should never have trusted me

 

[TheSHEEEP]

I do get that one would not want to pay an artist to create a throwaway banner that practically nobody will even look at.

Still, AI art is just so awful most of the time (in this case the melting NES is involuntarily funny)... would have been better to just use stock art honestly, if the goal here was really to save money.

 

[Von Hugh]

Yeah, I don't really give a shit.

 

[Fbh]

I don't really care about the use of AI for stuff like this, though I still find it surprising that they don't at least bother to do something with AI that doesn't look like bottom of the barrel slop.
I'm pretty sure you can make something like this with AI without the blurry elements and the SNES melting into the able.

 

[Bodom78]

I ain't supporting them. Sure it's a trivial use of AI but that's how it always starts so it's a nope from me.

What next? Using AI to make the game wrappers/launchers? We have to stop it, before it gets there.

Using your own computer's GPU to generate the images, based on your own library.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I'm genuinely surprised by how many people just don't care. No wonder the world is heading in the direction it's heading.

 

[LordOcidax]

waiting for the usual "AI is bad riot"

I still don't get it.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I care and I hate this trend but I am not willing to cut off the nose to spite the face. Just yesterday I bought $50 worth of games from them (because I like having games without a launcher or DRM imbedded) and I intend to buy City of the Wolves Season 2 DLC when Geese drops despite similar grievances.

No one aside from a bunch of twitter and reddit users care about gen AI use unless it truly stands out in bad ways.

In this case, its a dumb banner where the average joe seeing it would think about it for .1 seconds before scrolling to see the discounts.

I'm not a Twitter or Reddit user, but I do care. Of course you can't treat all companies equally. If I see a local mom and pop business using generative "AI" to create a few images, that's fine. They have limited to zero resources for this kind of thing.

But large corporations, especially those in any way connected to art, get zero pass from me.

Seems I'm in the minority though, lol.
