AI: Propaganda
China was using ChatGPT to posts on social media. So my theory of lefty bot posters is true. OpenAI stopped it, but it now makes me question if we can use AI to do stuff, or will it be controlled by various governments?

kAI: MidJourney Video
MidJourney has video. I've tried it out and am really impressed.
It is working really well, 20 million users can't be wrong.
The cost of making a good video used to cost millions and take large teams. Now it's open to anyone, and a single person can do it. MidJourney itself does not need investors or any of the big stuff others use to get big.

Do they? Did the author actually survey some "gamers", or is this just a stand-in for the author himself, who is presumably concerned that his job as a gaming blogger could be replaced by an AI?
I generally suspect that a lot of the people who make comments about how they hate AI content in games/whatever are just people who have had their opinion fed to them by writers who fear for their job. Unity and their asset store existing and enabling a bunch of trashy asset-flip games wasn't the end of gaming, and good games written in Unity exist. Games with AI generated content will be the same. The difference is that there aren't a bunch of "games journalists" afraid their job will be replaced by the Unity asset store trying to drive opinion.
They could have just written "Fewer of those disgusting whites". Clearly a feature actual users wanted, and not one driven entirely by a political agenda and racial hatred for Whites. Those poor black people having to put the word "African" in their prompts. It is too confusing for them.
Something worth pointing out, there are some genuinely good asset creators out there on marketplaces. And usually they're priced accordingly, which is why you won't usually see their work in asset flipped games. They've already shown that they can weather the storm of Chinese asset slop, so AI generated assets shouldn't be much more of a serious threat.
But I would like to see that their work is at least protected from being recycled into the AI blender. It's hard to say how feasible or realistic that hope is, but I do think think they deserve at least some options to protect their work if it can be managed without a lot of overzealous bullshit.
I'd say the same about in-house asset creators too, but so many AA and AAA studios have been outsourcing for the last 10-20 years (especially for art) that I don't know there's many that are worth the same consideration.
