AI """art""" and voices have ruined the term "artificial intelligence" i think

this is NOT generative ai, this is ai upscaling and has been used in remasters far before chatgpt became popular. nintendo using DLSS does NOT mean taking other people's work without their consent

i do not like generative ai nor do i support it/endorse using it, but you people need to know the differences

and for anyone who says "i dont want ai period" you'll be pleased to hear that literally nearly every game that has NPCs has some form of AI and this goes back to the NES-era of video games

@mudkip my favorite part about that is that game logic also happens to be a much more accurate and truthful application of the term than anything currently being sold (or shamed) as “AI”

@mudkip Sure but DLSS still sucks

@mudkip yes because the literal definition of AI is ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE as in fake intelligence.. so anything that even mimics even a small-ass fraction of thinking is considered to be AI

The ghosts movement patterns in Pac-Man? AI
The NPCs in Pokemon whenever you battle an NPC? AI

Cynthia when you battle her in Pokemon? AI

The villagers in Animal Crossing? (even the original) AI

AI is commonplace.

AI isn’t always bad!

AI is only bad whenever a company uses generative AI to do someone else’s job for them with AI.

Oh yeah need I say? chess.com’s computer opponents? AI

The visitors and employees at your park in Roller Coaster Tycoon? AI

the enemies in Runescape? AI

@mudkip this is something that genuinely pisses me off too; like things like the pac man ai are genuinely so much more interesting than anything ai techbros shitheads putting out ..

@miles @mudkip yeah big agree

like yeah i agree that ppl should be more literate about generative ai vs other kinds but like

dlss looks bad and the fact that its being used as a crutch for poorly optimized games is very frustrating

@mudkip ai is just a term people use for technology that hasn’t faded into the background, at least it is for me.
