▲AI can clone your indie game, but not its soul (twitter.com)
fxtentacle 13 days ago [-]
Probably the code of these games leaked in some dark corner of the web in the past and that’s why AI can generate it so nicely. AI is also extremely good at building Quake 3, including Carmack’s notes.

But as soon as you are just a tiny bit off the beaten path, Fable/Sol will go postal regularly. So if your indie game has interesting gameplay mechanics, nobody will be able to 1-shot that for a long time. (Because their prompt would have to include everything that’s unique to your game.)

Well, yes. You need to unambiguously describe what you need to be built. That's not a problem this going to take 'a long time's to solve.

In the limit this can be as complex or more complex than just writing your program to begin with. If you actually care about your implementation details, your specification will balloon to encode all of them.

No, AI could have been trained on those codes but even after that AI can generate the code on its own as well.

I didn't know souls could pay the bills.

yet. ai videos already have plenty of soul, which is personally shocking
anonzzzies 13 days ago [-]
What is the latest SOTA examples for videos because all that I see scream AI which doesn’t mean they don’t look good but I would not say they have soul. Then again I don’t watch many videos so I might have missed new developments there. If they really work like you say, TikTok and insta and YouTube shorts are now just fake videos only?

Check reddit, r/stablediffusion and r/aivideo

Does anyone have any examples of AI produced videos that are meaningful/cool/interesting outside of them being produced by AI?
satvikpendem 13 days ago [-]
This one was quite an interesting story. Somehow even with their blank faces the AI was able to create a sense of trepidation or anxiety purely through body movements and I found that very impressive.

I find the AI voice painful to listen to, the script badly written, and it's full of nonsensical animations: https://youtu.be/LHhy4E9Hhmg?t=302

In fact the whole channel is just a poor clone of the channel Fern. Compare that video's thumbnail to one Fern made 6 months earlier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1bHK6uii7o, then take a look at the rest of their backlogs.

satvikpendem 12 days ago [-]
I did. The thumbnail may be the same but the story of the AI video is more interesting than Fern's which was just a brief overview of that particular case. I won't lie and say the AI video channels rip off human creators (Fern did a whole video about this too) but this particular video I linked was good.

It has the combined soul of humanity that supplied its training data.

Strongly disagree, they're utterly repulsive. Unfortunately they're getting harder to distinguish from the real thing.
snayan 13 days ago [-]
Are they getting harder to distinguish because AI videos are finding their soul, or because non-AI videos are losing their soul?

"Content" has never been interesting even before genAI.
dexterlagan 13 days ago [-]
Finally somebody who gets it. Today the definition of Content is view-optimized, click-bait, gapping mouth YT trash. I can't stand it anymore. I want real video of real people saying real, interesting things.
nottorp 13 days ago [-]
Video costs. I suggest you reorient yourself towards the few people who post text written by humans only when they have something to say ;)
snayan 13 days ago [-]
Yes, but that is a problem independent of the discussion in this thread.

Steam reviews are savage and refund windows generous. Ai Slop clones would quickly get trashed.
robertvaradan 13 days ago [-]
I agree. Let’s have some faith in the players, they are even ruthless about not slop games
