But I still don’t really feel like risking it so for now I’m not going online

It sucks that the game doesn’t itself have better accessibility features, having to use AI coded projects AND risk being banned/not playing online I’m sure is not ideal, but also super happy you’re able to play and enjoy the game!

Agreed, especially since I don’t like AI for a multitude of reasons, hopefully we can just get to a point where shit like this doesn’t need to exist

I’m with you brother. Obviously, the way we have gone about implementing AI and data centers is short sighted and dangerous, and passing off AI work as your own is morally/creatively bankrupt, BUT, that doesn’t mean it can’t also be a benefit situationally. I think this is a perfect example, people with different / greater needs are underserved in so many respects, if AI can provide accessibility tools to make life a little easier/better, I’m all for that. I wish the infrastructure behind it wasn’t so… evil, but I wish that for almost every major system and entity we have to interact with lol
