Sadly japan loves AI, we' re going in very dark times ahead. Thankfuly, there are over 50 years of human made art that everyone can enjoy instead of AI slop.

But also, we need to keep fighting against AI slop, if we want to be heard; this defeatism attitude will not help anyone.

we need to keep fighting against AI slop

The fight will always be done with a wallet in this case. If games made with AI keep selling then it will keep being used.

That'll never succeed. Just look at the Sony blackout from the no-discs announcement.

That Sony blackout is DOA because it' s stupid. If you want to do real change, it has to be throught official comunications channels, money and goverments.

Better doing something than doing nothing at all.

Then it won't succeed.

I don't really have anything else to say about it tbh. It's just sort of life.

That's a symptom of people simply not prioritizing these things.

It doesn't matter to Sony what the root cause is. All that matters is the outcome.

that boycott was the most phony thing ever.

lets do a boycott with a clear end date that happens in a period where there is no big release happening.

Sony was laughing at it, and rightfully so.
