Stop using AI ads for the game.

[raw pilot]

Its actively pushing consumers away, and also makes the game look much less appealing than it really is. This game is really good but due to the absolute DOGSHIT ads people are avoiding it like the plague. It really makes the game look like a shitty cashgrab even though it actually has good mechanics. Please stop doing this

Not only that but the amount of qualms i have with it being AI as a whole is egregious.

The use of goonbait ads and guilt-trip ads are stupidly scummy and dont even work, which is just ruining the game's reputation for nothing. Literally high risk low reward

also this ad better not be real because if it is then oh my fucking god

[raw pilot]

stop using fucking ai ads is the point you are actively losing potential players

and making them hate the game and see it as cashgrab slop

[raw pilot]

they should add it in fr fr

[twilit quartz]

least it distracts from her tentacle

[raw pilot]

sorry what

also i just noticed she doesnt even have a right arm

how is she holding the sword then

[deep harbor]

I'm going to get freaky with this one 😭🙏

[deep harbor]

The imagination is the option-

Omg i haven't seen such cool ad about this game before

Who drew ts

[narrow vector]

AI 🤡

[deep harbor]

Bruh

[narrow vector]

she doesnt have a right arm

as for the actual real image the AI used to generate that, im not sure

its used in the banner for the game on steam at least

[deep harbor]

Is there other arts with Anna?

[deep harbor]

The og here?
Isn't this the only art?

[final jetty]

Ah yes, idle slayer, my favorite "addictive clicker" game.

[narrow vector]

Are you addicted yet Sgun?

Of clicking

[final jetty]

I was addicted to clicking cookies

That era is long gone

[narrow vector]

that game is sooo boring man

i just cant

but anyways thats offtopic here

[final jetty]

Eh, mcc is even worse

[deep harbor]

How bad it is?

[final jetty]

True.

Don't send AI gen pics of the game.

#👋welcome read the rules.

[deep harbor]

I need art 🎨😭

[final jetty]

We have #🎨fanart where real humans actually draw art.

The shit you just sent is hardly a picture let alone calling it """ART""""

[deep harbor]

Oh my god it's literally-

[narrow vector]

[deep harbor]

Art is Subjective

[narrow vector]

[woven dock]

why do ai people act so smart when saying the dumbest shit possible

[rotund coral]

Lmao

But I've seen like one dude advertising the game

Wasn't ai

So some aren't bad

[celest zephyr]

LOL 😭

plab probably outsources someone for the ads no way he is making ts

[neat pendant]

That is correct, he's said it's a third-party company

(we asked him about them around a year ago)

[velvet wing]

Pictures generated by AI is programming
You aren't creating art
You are programming an AI to give you something that visually pleases you

Just like when commitioning an artist you aren't creating it but the artist is
Only the artist understands what they are doing and the AI does not

[velvet wing]

On this note if you look at the rules Plab is also against AI images and like cdj said its made by third party companies who of course don't want to acually put in any effort and just generate AI images

[neat pendant]

I'll give them some credit, most of their ads aren't ai-generated pictures. When we looked before there were very few, and years old at that. The one with the black suit in this thread is new to me but I remember a couple of others, one from 2024 and 2025 each. (The one in the OP is from last year, at the least)
If you wanna look up the facebook page you can find a collection of them. mostly vids iirc

[deep harbor]

When you commission a painting from someone you're the patron with little influence on the process... But With AI, you're an active co-author and director
You write a detailed prompt control the composition, lighting, mood, colors and details. It's a completely different level of participation
Calling it "simply programming" is like saying a digital artist in Photoshop "just clicks a mouse" or a photographer "just presses a button"

[neat pendant]

Sure, including specifically which artist you want to plagiarize if you so desire.

[velvet wing]

If you ever commitioned an artist you would know that its the exact same, you don't just tell em "draw me a cat" and boom you get what you want, you tell them details, they make changes and so on, you are an active co-worker

[velvet wing]

but it is just programming, the AI has no idea what its doing, for it its just 1s and 0s because the current AI on the market aren't AI but just a summary of information you gave it and it calculates what is most likely the thing they want
for photoshop and photographers there is that understanding

[neat pendant]

#👋general-idleslayer message
banned them for scripting. I reported someone on the subreddit for posting a video of the same script in action a couple of days ago, likely the same person.

[velvet wing]

Now I can't discuss anymore
Not like I could have convinced them but I like hearing arguments and countering them

[neat pendant]

it's not worth the trouble.

[velvet wing]

thats the neat part, its not trouble for me

[raw pilot]

what did my post do 💔💔

and also holy argument

[raw pilot]

yeah just without a revealing dress on and her right arm intact

[raw pilot]

...then dont pay the commission if its ai gen or put rules for your commissions

or just have maurum do it

literally we HAVE an artist here

just pay him

[final jetty]

It's a third party you ----

[raw pilot]

wdym its a third party

[final jetty]

Let's not talk about it anymore

[quasi remnant]

I hope they keep using ai ads, so less people play this shit

[raw pilot]

im assuming they pay the third party do they not

[final jetty]

They aren't gonna pay real artists/put any effort into making the ad, they're given money and they do the most efficient with it, sadly, that's AI ads. It gets them the clicks so

If it works, it works, can't really blame anyone other than the ppl clicking those AI goon baits. It's sad to even think about tbh.

[raw pilot]

i missed a bit of the start but

[raw pilot]

well at least i found this one which is a bit better

[velvet wing]

which will obviously be more money and time invested and there is a good chance the company will just say no

[raw pilot]

yes but when using the "more money" options it means you'll get significantly more players from the same exposure AND a much better rep than the ai goonbait ads

[echo acorn]

I like my adslop humanly generated 🥀

[raw pilot]

those bullshit ragebait ads are better than this
