I know that stupid rich CEOs and shareholders don’t understand this, but… “heart”. You make a game with heart, and it’s immediately apparent to the audience. You can try to break down what it is that gives it away, but that’s unnecessary.
If a work of art has heart, it will probably sell well. As long as people can see what it is and it doesn’t do anything alienating.

You almost had a good argument until you started trying to tell us that it’s not just a parrot. It absolutely is a parrot. In order to have creativity, it needs to have knowledge. Not sapience, not consciousness, not even “intelligence” as we know it— knowledge. It doesn’t know anything. If it did, it wouldn’t put 7 fingers on a damn character. It doesn’t know that it’s looking at and creating fingers, they’re just fucking pixels to it. You have to understand this.

If you haven’t noticed, the people we’re arguing with— including the pope and James Cameron— are people who think this generative pseudo-AI and a Terminator are the same thing. They not even remotely similar or remotely-similarly capable. That’s the problem. If you want to call them both “AI”, that’s technically semantics. But as far as pragmatics goes, generative AI is not intelligent in any capacity; and calling it “AI” is one of the most confusion-causing things we’ve done in the last few decades, and it can eff off.
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
Yeah, well, “AGI” is not the end result of this generative crap. You’re gonna have to start over with something different one way or another. This simply is not the way.
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
I mean, you make good points.
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
Haha, keep dreaming. If OpenAI is used for robots, it’s not going to work anything on a fundamental level like current “AI”. It’s not a matter of opinion or speculation, but a matter of knowing how the fuck current “AI” even works.
People are so fucking dense about all of this, simply because idiots named it “AI”. Just like people are dense about “black holes” just because of their stupid name.

Wikipedia is written by humans, a.k.a. non-objective people, which is why they call it “duodecimal counting” instead of “dozenal counting” and used to have Talk wars on that page about it. The irrational side won.
If a game has classes like I said before, then it’s a class-playing game, a.k.a. RPG. Something can be a roguelike but not an RPG. Also “roguelike” is a pretty dumb name for a genre and itself causes a lot of problems, but I digress.

“Limited” is relative to what context you’re talking about. God I’m sick of this thread.

I added Dark Souls into the list before I saw this comment. Because usually when I talk about this subject I list it. I try to use variety in my examples, but I just forgot for a moment about listing Dark Souls ^^
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
Except for all intents and purposes that people keep talking about it, it’s simply not. It’s not about technicalities, it’s about how most people are freaking confused. If most people are freaking confused, then by god do we need to re-categorize and come up with some new words.
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
No? There’s a whole lot more than being human that being able to separate one object from another and identify it, recognize that object, and say “my database says that there should only be two of these in this context”. Do you know what “sapience” means, for example?
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
I wasn’t knocking its usefulness. It’s certainly not AI though, and has a pretty limited usefulness.
- Comment on 😲😲 1 year ago:
I’m not sure if I want to go into the full thing because people tend to get defensive about their preconceived notions and make a big, heated argument about it. But I will say this: game genres are defined by gameplay, not by content, by visuals, or by similarities with other games people assume to be in that genre.
As simply as I can put it— and hopefully not opening up a huge can of worms— I define a role-playing game as a game in which your character(s) play one of several roles meaning “classes”— each with their own stats and abilities that play differently and often support each other. You can have one character who can choose one or more classes, more characters that each have their own classes, or more characters that can can choose their own classes. That makes D&D, Pokémon, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy XIII, and honestly a bunch of multiplayer shooters RPGs. That does not make Zelda or the first Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior RPGs.
So the biggest problem with humans and categorizations is they are hugely assumptive, seeing surface-level things and defining it by those, and by outward similarities with other items that they already assume to be of that category. Because of this, what a lot of people do is confuse the adventure genre— games that use exploration, puzzle-solving, and key items in order to progress— and role-playing games, which almost always are adventure games as well. D&D? Both RPG and adventure. Final Fantasy XIII? RPG but not adventure. Zelda? Adventure but not RPG. But in most cases, RPGs are also adventures. So a lot of people think games with common adventure elements are RPGs.
I know a lot of what I’m saying is going to fly over peoples’ heads and they’ll go crazy in the comments. Let’s see how long I can ignore them for the sake of my own sanity…
- Comment on 😲😲 1 year ago:
I mean yeah. Most people define genres using association, and they can become a gooey mess at worst. I’ve been arguing for structured definitions for years, but it’s a lost cause. I still believe I am the only person who has a completely sane definition for “role-playing game”. But I digress, fam. ^^
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
AI doesn’t solve problems. It doesn’t understand context. It can’t tell the difference between a truth and a lie. It can’t say “well that can’t be right!” It just regurgitates an amalgamation of things humans have showed it or said, with zero understanding. “Consciousness” and certainly “sapience” aren’t really relevant factors here.
- Comment on 😲😲 1 year ago:
Manga are a kind of comic, they’re just pretty specific about their format and choices. Anime is a kind of animated cartoon, it’s just specific about its choices. Even “coming from Japan” isn’t a requirement as long as it follows those traditionally(-ish) Japanese choices.

- Comment on James Cameron on AI: "I warned you guys in 1984 and you didn't listen" 1 year ago:
explain to me
It isn’t AI. It’s just a digital parrot. It just paints up text or images based on things it already saw. It has no understanding, knowledge, or context. Therefore it doesn’t matter how much data you feed it, it won’t be able to put together a poem that doesn’t sound hokey, or digital art where characters don’t have seven fingers or three feet. It doesn’t even understand what objects are and therefore how many of them there should be.
This technology will not be able to guide a robot to “think” and take actions accordingly. It’s just not the right technology— it’s not actually AI.
