Sooo the game will be cheaper then right guys? Less costs and overhead, means cheaper to produce product right?? No, we know that’s not happening. Fuck you and your bullshit. This is an instant avoid for me.
Their previous edition of this game used public domain art, which was literally free for them. Were you avoiding that edition as well?
False equivalency. Also you’re not going to justify or normalize the existence of generative AI. Write your own code and make your own games.

Why are you being snarky about it?
I’m responding to someone who’s being knee-jerk about it, IMO snark is a lesser sin.
well I have started using Github copilot for programming, it does some things well and for example speeds up very well when I write unit tests because once you start with a pattern they are mostly repetitive with minor changes.
Should I start charging less for my work?

Can’t you just turn those into a single parameterized test with the test cases described as data?
I mean of course if there is only a given set of variables that changes test-to-test then I do that.
But I meant tests, that are really similar, but the variable that changes or combination of changes is varied enough that you can’t parametrize it.
Some things you also shouldn’t parameterize for the sake of overview and intuitiveness in understand.
You mean the original terraforming mars card artwork weren’t made by an AI?
Why didn’t they call it “Terraforming Mores”??
translation: we are not interested in quality and want to make $$ by cutting all corners
Their previous release used existing public domain art, were they already at the “not interested in quality and want to make $$ by cutting all corners” level when they did that?
They were,
But AI is industrial plagiarism. There’s a big difference in the legality of using AI vs using publically licensed materials.
But AI is industrial plagiarism.
You don’t know how generative AI works. Or what plagarism means. Or possibly both.
BTW, what if these folks are using Adobe Firefly? It was trained entirely on licensed materials.
If you pose the ignorance of a person replying, the custom should be to explain the concepts they do not understand.

The issue is training on “licensed materials”.
People usually say that’s the issue, until you show them that it’s possible to generate images and whatnot from models trained on “fully licensed” data. Then they come up with some other reason why evil AI is awful and evil. I’ve been involved in these debates for a long time now and those goalposts have well-worn tracks from how frequently they shift that way.
But it’s clear a lot of people don’t understand why using data without consent is a bad thing in this context
No, they don’t agree that using data without consent is a bad thing. Saying “they don’t understand” it is begging the question, in the literal sense. You’re saying that people who disagree about that are simply being ignorant of some underlying “truth.”

“Slippery slope” is also a fallacy. Training an AI and copying a game are two different things and it’s entirely reasonable to hold the position that one is ok and the other is not.
