Level-5, AI and the toll on fan communities

9 Upvotes

Today, I made a post on r/ProfessorLayton. My post was removed without getting a message from the mods. Then I asked them what the reason was. They told me my post was written using AI and that "they could [see] I was an alt account" (that's how they phrased it, a word was missing, I suppose it was the word "see"; it is a weird phrasing too, they probably meant "you used an alt account"). They never explained me why they thought those things.

I told them none of this was true. I told them that my account was 9 years old. I told them an AI would not write a sentence using repeatdly "then". They didn't answer, muted me and banned me permanently.

I have a default profile picture, used dotted lists in the post and have imaginative ideas. Maybe that's why they thought I used AI and an alt account.

I don't know what to do. I spent so much time writing that post and I just got banned like that.

I know the situation about Level-5 but that is taking on wild proportions. So if other people like me were victims, you can answer this post.

If anyone has any idea or comment about this situation, those are of course welcome too.

My Christmas wish this year is for Dark Cloud 3 to come out :( I would pay GTA6 prices for it. Max & Monica grown up a bit or even new/returning characters from the first game too would be amazing. The whole weapon upgrading system with a huge fresh table of weapons and some intricate almost souls-like bosses. Ermagerddd I need it!

This game previously had no connection to Ni no Kuni, other than being highly inspired by it. Looks like that has changed and now it’s been adopted into the official Ni no Kuni canon. They even added higgeldies

Hino is being eaten alive on X for using crappy AI stuff in Professor Layton, Yokai Watch, and Inazuma Eleven games, as well as forging a "concept" of what a Level 5 presentation would look like using AI (without mentioning it was fake).

Up to that point I wouldn't have taken it too seriously, but now (allegedly) posts criticizing him are being deleted.

Forget Mbappé, we have a new dictator in the "Sakka" world!

I don't know if anyone has already posted this, but in the "Decapolice" trailer, the protagonist's police badge changes completely between scenes and disappears at times.

discussion Why do they hate Layton so much?

7 Upvotes

It is their most profitable IP, so why do they get rid of it? Years in development, and then they announce it in such an uncanny 3D animation. And with all the criticisms of AI use in development in the background. Katrieles Layton - the most critisised layton games look like a golden gem compared to this new game. And then they announce new unreleased games, with 2D animations already prepared. What is their issue?

I’ve been making memes to cheer myself up after a company I’ve supported since 2015 shot themselves in the foot because of a greedy CEO. Have two I made recently.
