You seem to be missing some critical context, which is that this set is coming from a site where fans can just propose new sets and if they get enough votes LEGO will consider making an official version. So yes, this is largely a set for adults and the price is set as such.
Yeah it's called quantization. The thing is, though, is when you start producing music you realize heavily quantized music is extremely stale and boring. You have to put in effort by adding "off the grid" details to make it feel alive.
Someone posts something like this here every so often. This subreddit is unsurprisingly full of this stuff. While we shouldn't discount the current state of education, I am also deeply skeptical of how representative this is of the broader system.
"If you looked at the code, and yeah, I know, we should not be reading code anymore"
I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm, but it's also a major factor in what differentiated slop from non-slop AI work: did a developer actually take the time to review and clean up generated code. Which is, itself, an extremely time consuming process
There's a lot of anti-AI warriors on Reddit in the game development space. I dislike lazy AI slop use in games as much as anyone else, but I also dislike the lack of nuance in these positions. They think it's gotta be all or nothing. It will become increasingly unrealistic to expect game developers to not use AI in some part of their process, especially code development, but such use does not automatically make it slop.
I wonder if it’s a more western thing. Like the remake of
Yo-kai Watch 2 was revealed a couple of weeks ago in the latest Nintendo Direct and the trailer is obviously gen AI yet… no one seems to care about that. Especially not on the japanese and asian social media https://youtu.be/76L1JKQWB8w
otoh I would put the Runescape community and people who play Yo-kai Watch games as far away as possible from
each other
Why is it unrealistic? We have decades that prove people can make games without AI. Is the unrealistic part just expecting people to be honest about whether they used it or not? We somehow manage to have the food industry mostly honest about what they put in.
The context is that the company posted a trailer video that was very obviously AI generated art (6 fingers, Nike shoes in a fantasy setting). The pushback is entirely focused on using the slop machine to make slop art and writing.
It is, but the statement goes further than that and says they use no gen ai at all in making their games. Which feels unnecessary, unless they mean just in the art and writing, which feels misleading
Which is fine. RuneScape has been in development since the early 2000s, long before GenAI even existed. They got along before GenAI and they can continue to not use it.
People may be forgetting the game has 20 years of content already, why do they need to make more faster with GenAI? Its already a massive piece of software.
Runescape is quite literally a dinner table name it is that famous. Their only true competition is probably World of Warcraft. The community is already huge. What competitive advantages are they going to lose? Likely none.
