Late final night time, I obtained an e mail concerning AI slop, this e mail:

The e-mail not does make any sense in any respect, why would my complaining drive his AI utilization? He’s additionally lifeless fallacious about me and AI. I’m not against AI utilization. I’m against “AI Slop,” like what Pakotime places out. These video games are shortly shat out money grabs with minimal effort that clog up the eShop and drive higher video games off the listing. I’ve complained about them endlessly, like with Jigsaw Ice Princess. Ice Princess got here out in October 2023. Not solely has the circulation of slop not stopped, its arguably gotten even worse since then.

AI Slop and Me

However what about my utilization of AI photographs? Doesn’t that make me a hypocrite? No, as a result of I don’t have an issue with utilizing AI. Its a software, used for good or evil. In reality, that picture he’s referring to was generated by WordPress itself because it has a featured picture generator in-built. Moreover, AI photographs are helpful for articles, as I don’t have cash for an artist to attract a picture or purchase inventory photographs. As well as, I’m not charging cash for these articles.

In the meantime, AI slop can vary from just a few {dollars}, to twenty! A developer is charging actual cash for AI generated photographs, and sometimes not superb ones both. The video games connected are normally equivalent “prepare the tiles” or a jigsaw puzzle. I view it as an outright rip-off. Additionally a rip-off are the AI generated advertising and marketing photographs on some video games that disguise what a recreation actually is. Look I don’t care if a developer is utilizing AI for coding or again finish stuff. I do care in the event that they’re charging for a shitty jigsaw recreation with AI generated photographs and slapping “hentai” within the title. It reeks of sheer laziness for a paid product when sincere builders spend thousand on precise artwork.

I wouldn’t even be writing this text if that e mail was the one one to convey my AI utilization up, others have as effectively. AI slop has broken the Nintendo eShop and albeit my utilization of AI photographs is irrelevant as a result of I’m not charging for a sub-par product. As a substitute of yelling at me, yell at Pakotime to cease releasing a recreation every week!

P.S. For those who’re questioning, my response to his e mail was a condensed model of this text. It’s as follows:

If the writer had subscribed to this weblog, possibly he would have made sense!
