      If it’s made with GenAI it shouldn’t be copyrighted if nothing else.

        if it’s made with GenAI, they can sell it to llms and bots.

        I’m in the market for games by humans, for humans.

        Exactly, especially if its been trained on copyrighted stuff.

      Bad news then: almost all software engineers will be using various forms of genAI for their work, let that be LLMs for coding or image generation for quickly visualising things.

        almost all software engineers

        any source for that?

          It’s a logical conclusion of the present situation. No one will pay for grass or asphalt textures, when genai can produce more variety than any human asset artist ever could. In coding it’s a more complicated situation, but for certain tasks it’s almost dumb not to use ai. Even of you don’t use it to actually write code it’s still helpful to a varying degree.

          Am software engineer. Am required by work to use it lest they lose their ungodly investment into a tool that wastes as much time as it does money.

              Sounds like a nice deal. Every job posting I’ve seen here comes from a company that wants you to use an LLM.

                In the US? I’d wager most software devs aren’t from there.

                  As opposed to where? India? China?

                  Companies in the US aren’t the only ones pushing AI.

        they’re certainly welcome to do so.

        I will not buy.

      I bet you bought more slop games than you’d like to admit. This stupidity is boundless.

        Really?

        How much did I just win from your bet?

        Since I own zero games with slop in them, what we have here is you just you talking out of your ass.

        The stupidity is boundless.

          I dont even understand why you would think you know which developer is using GenAI. But keep your hopes up.

            It sounds like you’re a keen observer of human behavior, and know more about my purchasing habits and resolve than I do.

            By all means, continue to educate me on what I will and will not do, and give me some indicators as to when I will cave.

            You can start by telling me down to the cent, how much money I’ve spent on games on any platform since Tears of the Kingdom.

              I dont understand your reply at all, are you implying you are the developer yourself? Otherwise this sound like a comment aimed at something completely different.

                I dont understand your reply at all,

                This is entirely a you problem.

                are you implying you are the developer yourself?

                No, you’re just making things convoluted in your own head.

                Otherwise this sound like a comment aimed at something completely different.

                Once again, that’s a you problem.

                The reality is that I made a declaration that I don’t buy slop, you challenged that and implied that I probably have. I then asked you to state which slop-inclusive games I’ve purchased (or any games since TotK), and then you failed to do so.

                Everything following that is you redirecting away from the fact that you ran your mouth with “I bet you bought more slop games then (sic) you’d like to admit.”, but cannot name one slop game that i have purchased.

                Tl;dr: you wrote a check with your mouth that your ass can’t cash.

                  So are you seriously saying you didn’t get my sentence as an implication that I doubt your ability to detect AI has been used in a game you bought previously?

                  I mean this was my original reply and you went into some kind of defense for me not knowing what you bought or will buy. No shit Sherlock.

    Of course they do: their jobs are becoming increasingly obsolete as AI gets better.
