This time I ramble about how my previous month was along with my adventures in hardcore classic WoW so far. Some have been funny while others infuriating xD 

I chat about other random things too so come and chill for a while! :)

As someone that actually is working with AI tools at times especially in work, it's such a delicate conversation. To me, personally, AI taking over the market in general is an issue that everyone has to look to. Heck, even programmers might be afraid. AI generative stuff is starting to take the market share of content regarding images, and jobs revolving around concept art are going down too. The method of how it does it is questionable too, and it's why when I thought of using those sort of tools to make my own game, I didn't feel comfortable actually using such AI tools to make something I'd sell or publish. I do play around with it privately, but I refuse to publish anything with my personal attribution that has content made with generative AI. Even if I'm a supporter of advancements in tech, when I have doubts, I prefer not to apply it. Also, please be careful of emails that want you to playtest games! If they send you the game personally via zip/exe, it might not be safe to open! We game devs don't send people games directly because of it being a security concern. Definitely make sure to look every sponsor up, research, and have a good conversation before anything. I'll usually send friends to a passworded itch.io page on my end. The site has a lot of ways to help with this. Also, yes, trade chat can be so funny sometimes. xD! I had my own share of quirky conversations on it. That definitely sounds like a rogue. Your buddy sounds like a good floor tank! :D And yeah he definitely overshot. Never underestimate classic wow mobs. :P I would love to get back into wow sometimes if you wouldn't mind a priest with you in that case. \o/ Thank you for the ramble! Always good to listen! And honestly, your art is so unique and nice, I believe it when you say no matter the skill level, should always not be afraid to post work out there. I wanna try to do the same for my games work but it's so hard to reign in my scope sometimes. :( !!!

Honestly, not a huge fan of AI stuff either. For me, and I’m sure for a lot of others, drawing is a skill I had to work for to be able to do. It wasn’t like I popped out the womb knowing how to draw well, it took effort. And like any skill I have to draw regularly to remain proficient. So for someone to just hit a button and have a computer generate a picture no work required…Nah. That just lacks any of the time and work real art takes. It’s kind of insulting to think that people are selling that stuff when there’s a lot of hard working artists who are much more deserving of those commissions than someone just using a random algorithm to generate “art” that isn’t even a new creation, just an amalgamation of millions of (probably stolen) art pieces. It’s fine as a tool I guess and as a novelty, but it shouldn’t replace real artists. As for the WoW stuff, congrats on not dying at level 15! Honestly a night elf that’s only a healer because they’re pissed about their partner being a reckless troll is a hilarious character idea, I know I’d watch a show about that! Also, after hearing your story about the spit emote followed by the Keanu Reeves bit, my brain immediately made a connection, “Keanu is pissed about the removal of the spit emote: Keanu Seethes” Hopefully I did the bit right haha

I abousltelty hate AI art well maybe hate is too strong so Maybe strongly dislike but artist like yoruself especially small ones work so hard on their art work just to see someone with AI copy it and get the attention is beyond frustrating and a huge demoraliztion especially since you guys put alot work and time into your art. I got lost with all the WoW stuff lol but even though I don't understand anything lol I still love hearing your stories when when you play it's very cool to hear your other interests. Ooooo that would be so cool I'd love to listen your ghost stories or spooky stories I love ghost stories and I still love Halloween and to dress up even though my days of trick or treating are over it's still fun for me. I can't wait for your spooky stories whenever that me be it's gonna be so cool

I've had other shady offers come my way before, and yours sounded like it fit the "Do not trust" category. It is odd to me how someone for a finished product would just use AI generated art for the final product instead of getting genuinely good quality art. That WoW story: your partner sure sounded like quite the character. Also, thank you for the birthday wish, it was very nice to hear. You got my name right. Very sweet of you to do that. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I'm not a creator so I don't know how valuable my opinion is about AI, but for the most part I think I agree with most people take that it's kinda low effort and shouldn't be encouraged. However I do think AI could help make smaller tools for creators to use that doesn't just complete the whole thing for them. There is also a bit of gray area that I am personally fine with. For example there is a game called Monster Girl 1,000, fair warning it is a NSFW game if anyone happens to look it up, that has all of the major content done by the artist. So like the art of the girls, the story, "other" scenes, gameplay, etc. is all hand done. But they used AI to generate a few of the more generic backgrounds that weren't plot relevant such as a generic forest or castle background. That to me seems like a fine use especially as the game was made by a single person and a few extra people they contracted. For WoW though, I can see myself running out of oxygen and dying like in that story. I tend to get a bit of tunnel vision in games lol. Also while the spit emote is gone, it is incredibly funny the reason it was removed. People spitting on players that bought mounts is peak comedy. Also as for my future plans for the month, it's all games all the time, so much stuff I want to play is coming out, please help me lol. In particular though I am really looking forward to Lies of P and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Looking forward to the upcoming content, especially the .hack// one now that I have actually played some of the games. Hope you and everyone else have a good September!

As impressive as AI art is, I don't think it will ever replace human-made art. You can always tell when an image is made by AI, it just looks... off somehow. It's hard to describe, like all of the lines and colours and shading are all perfect (sometimes), but there's no life behind the art, no soul in the eyes of the characters. I've been following the discourse around AI replications of voice over artists on twitter. Some people are so inconsiderate, even berating an artist just for requesting people to stop making AI copies or song covers of their voice. There needs to be new laws introduced, but unfortunately right now we're kind of in the wild west of AI, and people are exploiting what they can before it becomes illegal.

Bruh I haven't even told my best friend since high school my birthday. For me I've been slowly work my way though S ranking all of Armored Core 6. In my opinion ai cant actually make art, it's not inspired. All of ai images are basically just it tracing over other artist work and coming up with an amalgamation of other images. To me ai images also just have this uncanny look to them to where you can always tell it wasn't made by a person.
