Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

If "everyone will be using AI", AI will turn to shit.

They can't create originality, they're only recycling and recontextualising existing information. But if you recycle and recontextualise the same information over and over again, it keeps degrading more and more.

It's ironic that the very people who advocate for AI everywhere, fail to realise just how dependent the quality of AI content is on having real, human generated content to input to train the model.

“The people who advocate for AI” are literally running around claiming that AI is Jesus and it is sacrilege to stand against it.

And by literally, I mean Peter Thiel is giving talks actually claiming this. This is not an exaggeration, this is not hyperbole.

They are trying to recruit techno-cultists.

Ironically, one of the defining features of the techno-cultists in Warhammer 40k is that they changed the acronym to mean "Abominable Intelligence" and not a single machine runs on anything more advanced than a calculator.

Sci Fi keeps trying to teach us lessons, and instead we keep using it as an instruction manual.

(Except, apparently, whenever it’s on the nose we interpret it as dramatic irony…)

I think the grey area is what if you're an indie dev and did the entire story line and artwork yourself, but have the ai handle more complex coding.

It is to our eyes entirely original but used AI. Where do you draw the line?

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 2 points 12 hours ago

That's somewhat acceptable. The ideal use of AI is as a crutch - and I mean that literally. A tool that multiplies and supports your effort, but does not replace your effort or remove the need for it.

Disclose the AI usage and how it was used. Let people decide. There will always be "no AI at all, ever" types that won't touch the game, but others will see that it was used as a tool rather than a replacement for creativity and will give it a chance.

[–] Devial@discuss.online 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The line, imo, is: are you creating it yourself, and just using AI to help you make it faster/more convenient, or is AI the primary thing that is creating your content in the first place.

Using AI for convenience is absolutely valid imo, I routinely use chatGPT to do things like debugging code I wrote, or rewriting data sets in different formats, instead of doing to by hand, or using it for more complex search and replace jobs, if I can't be fucked to figure out a regex to cover it.

For these kind of jobs, I think AI is a great tool.

[–] Sl00k@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

I definitely agree but I think that case would still get caught in the steam AI usage badge?

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

How does this model collapse thing still get spread around? It's not true. Synthetic data has actually helped bots get smarter, not dumber. And if you think that all Gemini3 does is recycle idk what to tell you

[–] exu@feditown.com 1 points 1 day ago

Recycling sounds suspiciously like what "AAA" studios already do
