Active Matter developers put up an incredibly distasteful AI notice on Steam
(www.gamingonlinux.com)
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
I feel liket they're trying to be funny, but when you're actually hurting artists the joke doesn't land. Also, the joke feels rather... right wing.
What's crazy is the replies in the updates... Like, they are trying to spin it that they weren't making a joke, they are 100% serious about not wanting to offend the clankers because "AGI Is right around the corner".
Which just screams "I am an alt-right snowflake"
The joke is stupid, but using AI voice for AI character really just makes sense
Perhaps the only time that it really does make sense. But the joke is dumb and charged enough that I won't be playing.
Especially if you use a cheap model that sounds clearly AI…
Dumb joke, but I can’t get rabid anti-AI about this usage…
