Like it's already hard enough for artists to make a living but then you have social media and certain online seller platforms like Etsy being inundated with fake products at rapid speed and further diluting user traffic.
So not only is gen AI robbing people's base data & making it easier for employers to reason throwing artists out, it's inundating people with fake products WHILE scammers fake being women or BIPOC or even DISABLED KIDS to garner sympathy to take attention away from THE REAL PEOPLE WHO NEED SALES.
This. Aside from the commonly known data scraping it's created an exhausting amount of scams to the point real creators are drowned out. Gen AI scammers steal creator process videos to make their own fake sob stories WHILE appropriating minority identities to sell their shitty drop-shipped crap.🙃
Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 16h agoGonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.
it's scratching an itch in my brain that i wasn't able to articulate before beyond, "i think we should have more flawed protagonists in RPGs"
i'm not far enough to say whether the durge is an AMAZING example of this, necessarily, but the fact of the matter is, this is quite literally the first time i've played a protagonist like this (where the narrative isn't bending over backwards to explain how they're in the right) since kotor
anyway i think more RPGs should give you player characters that are deeply flawed people who have done unambiguous harm in their backstory, and force you to not only contend with that, but pick up the pieces and figure out where to take that character next

#ffxivtag some days one just stares at hermes finalfantasy like a cat ekekeking at a bird
had the thought 'i wonder if any of my alters feel a particular sense of creatorship toward any of our OCs,' and was given pause by it. obviously haven't exactly thought about it much, but i think we see them all as a group effort/ownership tbh
#copiatag god i love the weird little impromptu musical numbers in this game so much. why is this not more of a thing in videogames

I've mentioned it more than a few times already, but if you like point and click adventures AT ALL, then you really shouldn't sleep on Endacopia. Genuinely one of the best in years. Old-school (both in style and engine) but new spirit as it was made by by someone who wasn't even alive in the '90s.
