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.

the cool thing here is you can, you know, do something about your own biases

I think you’re missing the point here a little. This bias towards being critical of where something is from is entirely justified. The reality is, there’s more gen AI content out there than ever before, and if you’re not questioning things constantly, things will slip past.

I’m viewing this kind of like a “phobia” vs a “fear”. If you’re genuinely in danger of being mislead by AI slop, then having a paranoia about it is perfectly rational.

it’s funny how that argument is exactly the same one people use to justify racism. seeing as how the dev provided proof it wasn’t AI generated, the argument is just as fucking stupid in this context as it it with racists.

AI has had very measureable negative effects on society in the last several years. Someone’s race doesn’t have any relation to if they’re good or bad, which is why being racist is irrational and stupid. It’s not the same argument.

In terms of art, it’s the difference between being critical of all art because AI slop is common in general (what I’ve been talking about as rational paranoia) vs only being critical of one specific style because you don’t like it and label all of it as bad AI (maybe the analogy for racism you’re talking about).
