    What an insanely non-issue to clutch one’s pearls at…

      [Really appropriate example, actually. ](smithsonianmag.com/…/what-the-luddites-really-fou…]

      As the Industrial Revolution began, workers naturally worried about being displaced by increasingly efficient machines. But the Luddites themselves “were totally fine with machines,” says Kevin Binfield, editor of the 2004 collection Writings of the Luddites. They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.”

        Me and the boys being worried for our jobs as automation stretches onwards and just wanting some level of guarantee that good paying jobs will still be available 😭

      Ah, the always welcome “and so what?” comment.

      It wouldn’t be lemmy if we weren’t always in a moral size measuring contest.

      Like I’m not the biggest fan of gen ai but a generic computer screen feels like a good use case for filler text.

      Showing that even a small non-issue use of AI will be detected is a pretty strong incentive for other games to disclose that willingly. Otherwise, why would they admit to it if no one can tell? Morals??? 😂😂😂

        Why should they “admit” to it when NeoLuddites with pitchforks and no internal logic lurk around every corner?

      Gamers who get mad having to wait for company logos to show while games boot: They have to disclose every piece of software they use to make every game! I want my games 100% hand crafted and bespoke. I want to sense the life people spent meticulously crafting mudsplat_texture_1 - mudsplat_texture_500. Also no crunch (and no bugs, obviously)

      Thank you. At least some people on this abomination of an antisocial media still seem to use their brain.

    Shameful, but this is the state of modern game developers. Scrap every possible avenue of paying your workers a living wage while surrendering to all latest failure tech fads.
