The studio behind the Postal franchise just announced that it will be publishing a brand new Postal game, to be developed by Goonswarm Games. Unfortunately, it even more recently announced it would be cancelling said game, due to accusations that Goonswarm had used generative AI in its development.

type 1: EXTREME SUSPICION THINK EVERYTHING IS AI GENERATED. Thrash wildly when presented all images, audio, text, and movies in a desparate attempt to prove whether it’s ai and should thus be shunned and hated.

type 2: not really care

Most visual art I consume I’m not getting anything out of it that is diminished if it were not created by human hand.

It’s mostly comics and “cool shit” and AI images are just as capable of being the illustration of a cool story. And the same rules apply - if a real artist draws wonky proportions or an extra finger, it might look a bit off but probably doesn’t bother the viewer much as long as it’s not all the time.

There are other situations where AI or any kind of simulation of humanity doesn’t work. An ai generated story won’t have the same kind of emotional connection, for example.

I don’t mind AI as long as it’s filtered through humans. Like don’t just generate something and ship it directly to the consumer. Use AI generated content as a stepping off point for what you want to create.
