Hello everyone, If you played my game Midsummer’s Eve , you might have seen in my notes that I used Midjourney, an AI art generator, to make the graphics. Here is a blog post explaining how I did that . I’m mainly posting this to share the blog post for anyone interested, but feel free to use this p…

Very little of this discussion has been about AI in IF, but instead has focused on broader societal consequences of generative AI, which I won’t labour in this summary (we’ll never reach a consensus on such global societal issues here). AI is here and it is for each industry to determine how to ada…

[image] Mike Russo: since to my mind there’s a difference between say someone who’s not artistically inclined using Midjourney to bang out the expected cover-art for an IF Comp entry, and having a game with omnipresent AI art In my mind, too, though I’m biased for obvious reasons. From a com…

For clarification: I’m the bully, not you.

[image] Tristin Grizel Dean: Not to add another controversial/political element to this thread :smirk:, but this idea is why I’m a proponent of UBI. The doomed Great Mouse Utopia project proved that UBI doesn’t work. It violates “A day without work is a day without eating” principle. I think …

Folks keep talking about using AI generated images in games. I really don’t want to look at your soulless AI images.

I was tired when I wrote my last comment, and don’t want to restart the contentious debate about AI images. I’m not tired now so I don’t have that excuse anymore, but I’m not sure I can help myself. I am ambivalent about economics, technological progress, and the organization of society, which are …

personally, im not against AI in games, but for the art, i think it’s going to be some time before AI can make suitable art for games. In a game, you have various lead characters. you need these people drawn in different situations, doing different things, with different expressions on their faces…

[image] jkj yuio: People tell me, it will be able to do that soon. People have been claiming unrealistic stuff about AI for half a century. It’s always ‘just around the corner’, like practical fusion power. I play around with AI once in a while and everytime I come away with the same impress…

You’re spot on there Mike. Couldn’t agree more. They were banging on about AI taking everyone’s jobs back in the '80s. It was going to replace factory automation etc. it’s basically the same thing today, but on faster computers. There’s a video on YT where Geoffrey Hinton admits AI is 17000 time f…

Well, following my argument above, the more capable the AI is the less I’m interested in it. I am not interested in art from the perspective of a computer. Maybe in the future that will change, but right now I’m happy being prejudiced against them.
