The holdout missions are generally not that bad
Aside from the fucking Kin one

FWIW, per a statement by the game director, concept artists, and a UI dev. They just experimented with it for one DLC to see how describing concepts could be visualized.
And then threw it all out as the concept artists just replaced its use. And they did make an AI voice model of a consenting and royalty-paid VA for a character thats meant to be synthetic and artificial. But since then they havent said anything about using AI afaik.

the disclaimer is still on every dlc they put out. as for the consenting and paid VA: it's impossible to train an llm entirely on the output of one person, so when someone claims an AI is trained for purpose with consent, what they mean is that they took one that had already been trained on a million hours of stolen voices and showed it a specific voice for it to mimic

hrm the thing our players praised that we noted multiple times across our development was a direct result of our concept artists taking inspiration and note from previous material works
lets throw it out for ai concept art weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
like without their concept artists putting it forward early in development because of them trawling through old rogue trader magazines the storybook style telling of the story, and the portrait artstyle would not be in the game, who's to know what else was owes itself to similar process
thatll just be fucking lost because you dont wanna work as hard or pay people to be creative and make something worth making

I'd say that's a bit much. Ai is a tool. Like using ai to generate grass patterns or sand grain patterns is fine. If it's being used for simple tasks and not story or gameplay design I'm fine with it. Like oh no the company used AI for a few place holders that are gonna be replaced with real human work.
steel ingot
Yeah a tool that scrapes the works of everyone that cannot create anything unique of itself that is used as a shortcut to creativity or actual human input every single time
placeholders excuse is child bullshit to even attempt to believe
placeholders have existed for decades
why do you need the mega corp theft device to do this
you do not have to cover for the torment nexus its okay
near wasp
I'm pretty against ai but I understand that placing 40 million grains of sand is something that no human wants to do. I'm not talking about generating artwork or characters or voices with it

like we've been improving our ability to create stuff since we painted on fucking cave walls
why do we need, once again i cannot stress this enough, the giant mega corp contraption that can only steal, to do what we've ALREADY been doing BETTER THAN IT for CENTURIES
its just absurd

not even getting into the reprehensible moral quandaries going on with the operations of these ai tools the things that are required to make them run
run on underpaid slavery, the insane amount of theft, the unprecedented ecological impact, the people who own and run these tools just ramrodding datacenters through peoples land
like you cant justify one single iota of its usage
its evil all the way down
misty vector
Idk i dont think the concept of an llm for just data analysis is evil
near wasp
First of off its not going away. It's a tool and a tool can be used for evil as well as good. Second off I'm not advocating for its use everywhere
I'm pretty against ai in most use cases.

if your car runs on grinding up children but it gets you to work where you are a heart surgeon, i still think you should be allowed to fucking do that at all

okay thats great, its still built on a foundation of exploitation and complete violation rules and laws
so like whats the cut
a little good evens that out ??
on top of the fact its main usage is theft already, misinformation, its already atomized an entire generation of peoples learning abilities
like you are on the most insane uphill battle

One thing I would like ai to be used for is for detecting cheats in video games. Because an ai would actually be able to pick up on the machine way that cheats move the cursor or how people watch others through wall. And that's only if it's made without being spyware.
Current anti cheat kinda trys to do this but it's bad. And most of them have kernel access
near wasp
Ah didn't know that

they just make algorithms that function as AI normally does to find things
i wish the term wasnt so tainted by LLMs they arent really ais

i mean we already do to an extent
enemy AI rn is mostly just wrapped in propreitary methods that are locked up with patent stuff

near wasp

the first examples of what we understand as advanced AI can be traced back to stuff like CE
the way CE ais work is so simple yet bespoke enough that it ends up all working together as super advanced even compared to some games these days
hallow saddle
Combat Evolved?
steel ingot
yeah, you should see the documentary from the coders talking about how they made all the special actions
and then built on that all the way into stuff like destiny
this again also tackles the whole "players dont actually like super advanced enemy reactions"
fascinating stuff
essentially tldr, all the actions enemies do in CE are pretty much single action lines of code that just all work in tandem
