AI Art and Narration

[Spindles]

I played the game far before narration was added and I really enjoyed it. But now that AI-generated art and assets have been added, I can't find it in me to keep playing. If I could refund the game now, I absolutely would.

For an indie team that's what AI is useful for. I feel if they were a triple A dev team then yes the use of AI would be frowned upon. Why does AI art and narrator make you want to refund the game? im genuinely curios.

Two reasons.
The first is Because Artificial Intelligence images are built on plagiarism. It scans for art real people placed on the internet and builds its data off that, regardless of whether or not the artist consents to being part of its dataset. It's like ordering a meal someone made, chewing it up in a blender with other food, and pouring the sludge onto someone else's plate and calling it your own creation.

What's more, it's the exact opposite of "art." It is unable to convey emotion or meaning through an image due to it having no way to comprehend either.

I can get behind the first point. Your second one, while I understand what you're saying doesn't apply to "art". "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," and all that. People say a blank canvas is art. A black dot in the middle of a white painting is art.

Art is stupid.

Why are people claiming AI on art and voice? Where's the proof? Not opinion - proof. Did the development team make a statement that I haven't seen?

Yes - both are AI. Some of the newer loading screens are AI. I believe only a few of the skill icons now are AI art. There were going to be more, but minority complaints of AI use has them revert to the old asset pack icons.

The AI narration is awful. thank god you can disable it.

Nothing says "Fantasy adventure" like a Tiktok-ass narrator.

I definitely understand that indies need to cut corners to be viable, but I also agree that AI assets are a$$.
