just set it to the January 1st of whichever year would make you 13 when you registered your account 😏 (I remember a platform deleting the account of someone when they, years later, revealed that they were under 13 when they registered)
Indeed! A few years ago I saw a video about how grading companies and auction houses collude to push up the price of old videogames, because they both earn a % of the auction price.
To me it seems the main issue is not even AI, it’s capitalism. If artists didn’t need to sell their art to survive, we wouldn’t even have this discussion.
Absolutely. It seems like 90% of the issues we have in society is because of this fucked-up economic system :/
Reality is that people on platforms like Reddit or Lemmy (or the tech side of the Fediverse in general) can be incredibly fervent about their AI hate, but they don’t represent the average people, whose work has become ever so slightly more convenient thanks to AI
According to research, the overwhelming majority of gamers across all ages and genders do hate genAI though:
In a recent survey, we explored gamers’ attitudes towards the use of Gen AI in video games and whether those attitudes varied by demographics and gaming motivations. The overwhelmingly negative attitude stood out compared to other surveys we’ve run over the past decade.(...)Overall, the attitude towards the use of Gen AI in video games is very negative. 85% of respondents have a below-neutral attitude towards the use of Gen AI in video games, with a highly-skewed 63% who selected the most negative response option.
I still don't like it. The models being built on non-consensually scraped artwork has been known from the very start. If they still thought these were ok to use, I don't really want to get involved with their output...
It's the same as when any other company quickly replaces the genAI art when busted, "oops we didn't mean to include it" - then maybe don't use it in the first place?
Yeah, they could have phrased it better, but there is significant variation based on e.g. age groups, with older people being 7 times as likely to feel positive about GenAI in games, than younger ones. (With the caveat that the "7 times" is still only 22%.)
Yeah, I love these little ambient texts in games. I don't think they would be too time-consuming to come up with for a game that already has written story content. Use them to contribute to the worldbuilding!
This is more capitalism being dumb with all that speculation :P (But then again, most of issues around LLMs come from that they are being developed and used in a capitalist system.)
I was a Waterfox Classic user for a few years, while I weaned myself off classic extensions, and I'm grateful for that option. Then it started to lag more and more behind in development, and an increasing number of sites were broken in it, so I went back to vanilla Firefox, but now I wonder if I'll return to Waterfox if this LLM-craze continues...
I like the convenience for languages I don't speak, but when I checked it for Hungarian (that I do speak) the results are so much worse than Google Translate or DeepL, basically literal translation word-by-word, often completely losing the meaning and tone of the sentence.
I love that idea!
