@SqeakyClean What did they have to say for themselves?
-
@Juniper they don’t have to answer to me. I didn’t press the question either. I just removed them from my life. I’m in the ‘if I don’t like what you’re doing I just won’t associate with you’ era of my life. Good vibes only, please.

Internet friends are fake. Don’t ever trust them. (A lesson I keep having to learn.)
As it turns out, MOST internet friends are people. And people are the worst…

AI is ruining this hobby. That’s my gripe. It’s ruining my respect for players, staff, my interest in games, my desire to RP. I see old friends whose original writing I’ve always enjoyed, flaunting AI use in a way that makes me feel like they must have never even appreciated their own talent as much as I did. I see promising games lose all promise the second I step on grid and see a sea of AI slop. And I see younger generation, newer players defending it in a way that makes me feel like the future of this hobby is just dead for me, an old fogey whose love of authentic human creativity, warts and all, makes me old-fashioned.
I hate it. I hate it on a spiritual and existential level.

@Kestrel I would upvote this more than once if I could

@Kestrel Honestly of all the reasons people have claimed that this hobby is dying, I think use of AI might be the thing that finally does kill it.

@Pavel Soooo, I haven’t been on any MU*s for like half a decade. Are…are people doing that? That seems…pointless. “Hey, let’s play basketball. But instead of us, let’s have robots play against each other while we do something else.” Writing is the whole point

@Ominous Some games are apparently using it to write theme, some people are apparently using it to ‘help’ write poses. If things keep going that route, soon enough it’ll just be LLMs ‘talking’ to each other in the dark.
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

A ton of places seem to be using it to do grid descs

Will pay XP for descs on game, just as soon as we finish kidnapping the coder to make +sheet and +roll and such.

That’s not a surprise. I, too, hate writing so many things that will only maybe get read.
Though one shouldn’t take my understanding as approval, obviously. -

Perverse incentives are a big part of why we have an AI slop problem in this hobby.
