    At the same time, people staunchly resistant to technological advances without a hint of nuance, not historically the sharpest tools.

    There’s a middle road where the technology can be useful but the economic system pushing it is cancerous.

      You anger more people if you walk in the middle of the road.

      I remember criticizing people who were against AI in games. They are just calling everything AI, no matter what. They didn’t like to think for themselves, too.

        Yeahhh but anybody who is harshly in any direction hasn’t thought about it enough.

        Some exceptions but fewer than you’d think.

        i mean i don’t particularly enjoy games with generative AI stuff (as an example, with a few exceptions roguelike/lite is not my genre). like, the random little fetch quests you’d get in skyrim were not the best, but they would get you out and exploring new areas of the world (things you’d miss if you just did main storylines).

        like, i can only minecraft so much. i like stuff that is personally crafted much more than stuff that is infinitely replayable but requires randomizers.

          Enemies in games use AI. I remember how proud developers were when their enemies started to search for cover when shot at.

          One big part of AI research was always games.
