Call of Duty admits it's using generative AI to 'help develop some in-game assets', and suddenly all those poorly made calling cards make sense (www.pcgamer.com)

Why are you still supporting this company? If you are.. I think telling you to get fucked is required.

Speaking of Call of Duty, I just dropped a wicked Activision while reading this.

Isn't it true that AI generated content cannot be copyrighted? I had assumed that ruling would cause big brand owners to avoid it... unless they are documenting every artist's work along the way, admitting to using it sometimes could blow holes in their brand.

I think it's just purely generated content. If you touch it up a human was involved and it's fair game afaik

“We want to pump out more money grabbing live service scam games, so instead of paying artists a fair wage, we’re going to overwork them as well as force them to use ai slop all just to make a line to up slightly steeper”

This is not art, there is no human expression in generative Ai. Only corporate profit and stolen labour.

If you're buying call of duty you are buying gaming slop, if people are ok with mediocrity why are you so mad? they're happy, the game company is happy, it's a win/win

People aren’t okay with mediocrity. Monopolistic practices make it hard to have other choices.

Consumers, artists, and employees all lose in the long run. The only winner is the corporations

Loading screens and pretty much all of the 2d customization in the game looks like ai slop.
