It feels to me like it could take decades before there’s another grand push forwards*, or we could be living Terminator next year. Who bloody knows. * Towards the idea of an all-knowing approximated human mind or better, which I think is the inevitable goal, while these LLMs we play with now are something quite different.

Once I know that any sort of art was made by AI, it’s like something inside me switches off and I’m just not interested in it. Even if the descriptions were good —which to be honest you probably could get them to be with enough prompting and the right pre-loading, if not now then certainly in the near future — I still wouldn’t enjoy it if I knew its origin. That line is going to get real blurry in the coming years, and even if it’s not practical to avoid AI being used in any part of the workflow, I would get behind some sort of certification that at least the creative expression — the art, writing, gameplay, audio — was done without AI. Even then though, where do you draw the line? I hate the idea of AI voicing characters, but using it to restore bad-quality audio is understandable. Of course then you kill any possible funding of a composer remastering it, so I guess that is probably evil too. Jeez.

Not that I’m saying this is an acceptable way to write a game but you get better results from the AI overlords if you give them more context. I think your attempt went off the deep end because it was looking at the styles of the authors more generally (say, as in DOTT) rather than the game itself. Obviously it’s still disgusting compared to using actual humans, although for the ‘Nice…’ responses in MI2 maybe it’s a toss-up.

That is beautiful. Impossible to imagine a better banana pan. I have hunted through a whole bunch of games I thought might have one but it’s always not really as I remembered. Usually just multiple different angles.

GOD! This has driven me crazy, you bastard.

Fantastic. Seeing LES HEADBANGERS puts me in the mood for finally replaying this odd yet truly unique game.
